And a loud bang happens, motor oil a foot wide on the street for 200 feet and a cloud of smoke that would make a dragster
envious. I tow it home, and look underneath. The oil pan is still installed.



I found this resting on the k member.



That's piston.



I found this in almost every intake port. Filled with Mobil 1.



I tipped the intake over and found out it had some "juices" in it.



The driver cylinder head.



Auto oil drain. It's for when you want to lube the concrete.

 

So I buy this.......an 04 LS6



Its been a great cam.....but it's time to move forward. The old: TR224 114



Some sound clips of said cam:

The new.........22x/23x .6xx/.6xx



Lets pause for a photo op..........



Decided to throw a new Melling 10295 high pressure pump on it.



Gonna replace the Prothane polys with these.



Test fit.





Decided to upgrade to the newer LS6 style valley cover

 

799 casting heads just back from the machine shop



They get a set of Lunati Golds





I measured installed height with this.



Mock up to check my PTV clearance



The prettiest single bolt I have ever purchased, and likely the most expensive.



Time to freshen, renew, rejuvenate......





Time for some color yo................how about fire engine red!!!

 

ARP heads studs with GM MLS gaskets



Final assembly





Decided to put these on as well



Reunited and it feels so good.



First start up.
