Looks good man. I remember when you were thinking of not doing this. I am glad to see things are moving forward.

FYI...just a word of advise. Keep a close eye on those Harland Sharp rockers. I sent mine back as the roller tip was eating away at the side of the rocker body after only 1100-1200 miles. Noticed aluminum shavings also. From what was explained to me there is alot of side load put on the rockers because of GM head designs on some of their heads. This may not be a problem with your heads. I would check them periodically to be sure this is not a problem for you. Didn't meen to rain on your parade just givin' ya a heads up...Motor looks fantastic!! Good Luck!

Thanks everybody,Mike u stay the hell away from my motor unless im there!
disassembled....you saved my *** ALOT of money!it cost me the same price to get the pickup tube from the dealer as it did to get the oil pan and windage tray from you!thanks man.
DJ's99SS...ill definitely keep that in mind.i might give HS a call.The nice thing now is that ive gone from perimeter to center bolt valve covers so its only 4 bolts now,whereas b4 it was a PITA.
Wicked_Hugger99....helll i been on the boosted list for a month!i missed last year and i was like "hell no im not missing this year too"
LTLHOMER....im figuring its going to take AT LEAST 2 trips with a full size pickup to get all the boxes from my house and storage into the shop

The teardown starts on Monday everybody!....ill be bringing my camera along for the ride and post up stuff as we go.

They are the same design unless they've done something within' the last 10 days. If you can move the roller tip against the side of the rocker body your gonna have this problem on some if not all the rockers. Like I said earlier I was told that too much side load is put on the tips of the rockers that pushes the roller tip against rocker body. This is also done with the stockers. If you look closely you see some uneven wear on most of the rockers. I guess thats why GM made a shaft design for the LS1's???

BTW...blacktransam, you might be the only one that does that.
