So today did everything but pulled the engine and got the oil pan off my gto. Dropped the windage tray and boom! There's the lifter that fell and caused this headache lol. Good thing is motor looked extremely clean. Has 94k miles and has had nothing but full synthetics and great filters on it. I couldn't believe the factory oil pan gasket had rivets you have to drill out to remove it. Got everything put back, transmission brace in so tomorrow its gonna be a lot of re-assembling lol. Had a hard time getting the timing lined up on this thing though. Now all I'm worried about is getting the block clean and headbolt holes completely cleaned out of liquid or debris. Hopefully be close to done tomorrow and definitely by the end of this week. Maybe dyno & tuned in the next 2wks.

Got most of the engine reassembled in the car. Heads & valve covers are on. Just mainly wrenching the accesories, intake & fuel rail. Then driveshaft & connecting wires. Will be ready to fire up this week! I hope i'm happy with this Torquer V.2 cause I don't look forward to doing this again lol. I hope I can put a few pics up sometime this week too guys.
