Missing gears all the time would be enough to wear down a bearing..... not one time.
Motor wouldn't be junked if you would listen to what others with experiance tell you

In everyone's defense... I listened to people on LS1 Tech and I haven't listened. I wanted a mild set up that would beat a stock LS2 and I have it. Sure they are 5.3L heads and if I were to do it again I would never get 5.3s, but I couldn't have built the car like I wanted to without the support of Tech members and Texas Speed. It is good to listen, but sometimes you have to let the stubborn learn from their mistakes.

Plant a plant on your dash...it will be covered with dust.
Paint your brake calipers hooker red
Send off for your "runs 11s" license plates
Put a new paint scheme on it...like the devil coming out of hell...all on your hood.
Sprinkle rat poison around and in the car....
Loan your parts out to friends and family...they will appreciate it.
When spring rolls around and the car isn't done yet, put up your sun shade and plant another plant on the other side of the dash. Remember to water though, it gets hot!
Put your tires indoors, they will rot
Start planning another new motor...

What do you fellas do to fix the sickness in your stomach of seeing your car in pieces??
I put cobra wheels on it
