I work tomorrow till about 1 in Lake Mary. Does Robert have a set of pushrods? If not, I will just throw them in my car. I am willing to bet they will solve the problem, but before you cam it and spray it, either get someone with a fiberoptic scope to take a look, or just pull the heads. Pain in the a.., but a set of pistons is cheaper than a block when your broken piston f's it up.

I don't know man. Honestly, pull the pushrods and see what they look like. Perhaps if they aren't too bad you got lucky. I would just be worried with a cam and spray. It is not your daily driver, so worst case, you get to spend lots of money. Like I said, pull the pushrods, replace, and give it a whirl. What do you have to lose? Pushrods are free, and gaskets should be reusable....

Waiting on a tune. Upped boost to around 7psi, and did Thunder Racing Blower cam. Hoping for 450-500hp....... Filled, smoothed, and painted a LS6 intake. Looks great under the hood, and nice LED hidden lights for the night shows. Mid march for the tune, then it will be at more shows....

The cam sounds good. Robert gave me some tuning stuff to get startup better. Cam is specs are 214/230 .601/.579 117lsa. Idles ok. No missing cam in the exhaust sound.

The intake painting is a PITA. You will have to see mine and we can talk. It definately makes the car look good. I painted the LS6 same color as LS1 I did. I did a better job with the front fill, but here is a couple pics of the first one that you can see it...I have since polished the shiny stuff and black rubber stuff....
