Some intense reading and learned quite a bit from this. How's that engine holding up?

haha, this is awesome.

Sorry you had to go through this, that guy has no business building LS motors.

How is it running?

Im sorry i had to go through it as well, believe me. It runs perfectly fine. I have it setting on the engine cradle mounts, checked for leaks, noises, issues, everything worked perfectly.

sounds good, glad it worked out.

I would suggest an oil analysis after 1k miles or so. That will show if you have any problems relating to excessive wear, blowby, small internal coolant leaks, etc.

Sooooooo, not quite sure, but im pretty sure, this is backwards....Your opinion........................................... ....




Supposed to be a brand new seal that he installed. Looking at everyone elses seals and the install pic from GM, it looks wrong in there and doesnt look fresh either.

Yeah that doesn't look right. It literally says "this side out" on the side of the seal that faces out!

I checked the new one from the dealer and I know it says "this side out". I'm pulling it tonight to redo this seal

Been a few months, back on the road with it, breaking it in and getting it "right". I created a set of 180* headers for it, rewired and depinned the harness, and purchased a new pcm and had it recalibrated. Runs very nice now, but one of the resistors broke in the MAF so i resoldered it until the new MAF gets here to dyno it. 500 Miles, second oil change done, 27psi idling hot, 42-55psi ~2-3k.
