JMX:
Tell me this is not true; You have just crushed my image of your complete superior technical, mechanical, machining and engineering abilities....I'm really bumbed now; my hero is a whimp.

On this note, I was considering essembling a new short block myself. I was thinking of buying a new LQ4 block and installing a stroker crank, new pistons, rods, bearings, etc. Since all the parts would be new, I thought there would be a minimum number of potential machining issues (like none) so I could basically bolt it together.

Are you saying this is WAY out of my league?

Thanks...

Sorry to disappoint.

I have no idea what your league is but I'd make a random guess and say that probably at least 30-40% of all the people on here could build their own engine themselves with some directions and the proper set of tools. I doubt its out of anybodies league if they tried and had everything available. I'll probably be building my first shortblock myself sometime this year just to see what its like, and I'm not expecting it to be all that big of a deal as long as I talk to the right people and get the info I need before I start.

LOL... hey robertbartsch, jmX hit me over the head with a beer bottle before. So you had better watch it.



...it didn't hurt and didn't break but he did hit me.

jmX

Alcohol does strange things. Sorry for hitting you!

I don't know what website Ed used, but I have used LS1HowTo and InstallUniversity a bunch.

JMX, do you host a **** site on that same box? I get block by the firewall going to your site from work.

Actually, if you send me $49.95 a month you get access to the **** versions of all my installs. Nothing like seeing an attractive bare chested female crank down on a torque to yield head bolt.

Yeh, but what does she know about seating a stroker crank?
