You might hear a little valve train noise but there are solids with more lash than that. It will be fine.

Put a louder muffler on and no more tick tick

Also a good way to find any oil leaks while on engine stand dyno.

Engine dyno is the way to go for all the above reasons plus new parts can be faulty. The only question id have is who the tuner is....

Now with these silly Stage 3 covid restrictions, we are not even meant to be out unless it's for work, shopping, medical care, and exercise.
If your tuner trusts the guy that will be running the engine dyno, i'd engine dyno it. If there's any small issues with the engine that need addressing they will show up on the dyno without having to dismantle everything in the car again.
As for the covid stage 4 restrictions, the gov are going for all out financial wipe out of as many non-corporate businesses as possible. I don't think the majority understand yet how serious this is, not the virus, that is just being used as their excuse for a much bigger agenda. The police and military are now on the ground enforcing the downfall of small businesses, without their knowledge, so we can end up a utopia of ultra rich corporations, and wage slaves. Most of the cops and military believe they are doing the right thing which is sad to say the least.

You are right launch.
The real agenda was to actually crash all the economies of the western world starting with the USA.
If Trump wasn't in power right now we would all be fucked.
He is dealing with some very high level criminals.
The house speaker Pelosi is part of the most powerful mafia families in the country.
​​​​​​Then you have that weasel Adam Schiff who I can't stand to look at.
If trump wins she is out.
And that also means she will end up being arrested too.
There is a lot of crap going on behind the scenes that the media won't report on.
All they do is follow the narrative of this ever so deadly virus.

Have to.
Whatever happens to our big brother in the USA will happen to us too.
Australia isn't powerful enough to do anything without assistance.
We can't go against Europe or China on our own.

What gives it away is the term social
Distancing. It sounds focus grouped and ready made. Almost like it was planned.

Of course it was planned.
It's not hard to see.
As stated, it's the biggest scam in human history.
I have lost a lot of respect for the medical field and law enforcement for going along with this.

The good old "Just doing their jobs"..... yeah, to ruin an entire economy, and help Gates and his friends implement their vaccines, and further elevate our tyrannical government.
Most aussie cops = Low IQ rock apes. I lost respect for them a long time ago.. they're no longer there to help the public.

And let's put this into perspective, of whom they're helping. Bill Gates can spend 10 million dollars PER day, that's $10,000,000 in numbers, PER DAY, and it will take him over 700 years to spend all his money.
Wage slave government employees, are helping the elite families of earth get even richer, and screw the rest of us even harder.

Guys, this is not a political forum, it’s an automotive forum. No place for that here, as there are plenty of online forms of social media for that stuff. Get back to topic, or this one gets locked down.

Another minor update.
Oil sump was being cleaned and two minor cracks around the front bolts were found.
They are going to be weld repaired.
I was going to get a new one but they are so overpriced.
We are also fitting one of these vcm baffles:

They are a rebranded Improved Racing part so the quality is great.

Good one on installing the oil pan baffle. You didn't end up doing a crank scraper also? One could be worth 5-10hp @ 7000rpm.
Improved Racing no longer sells their simple crank scraper only last time i checked.
I managed to find a new old stock one a while ago here locally. I saw it for sale on gumtree for $200 so i grabbed it... this is to suit stock stroke only though.

Looks good launch.
Yes a crank scraper is also installed.
There was also one on the old 408 engine too.

Injectors also had to be upgraded as the LS3 style are not compatible with that Fast Intake.
I was expecting this so I'm not surprised. They are 725cc injectors.
All parts are expected to be in tomorrow so there is a chance we could get a fire up in the next few days.

They were the same CC as my previous injectors.
And yes I am running exclusively on E85.
No 93 gas for this bad boy.
725cc should be enough injector for the power I will be making.
