pistons are in as well as the head studs tomorrow morning the head will go on and then we do timing and put everything back together let it run for a good 500 or so miles and tear the streets up ooo and i went overboard on cleaning everything to make sure nothing was even slightly dirty as you can see in the pics.And i rehoned the cylinder walls

Looks very familiar https://www.cobaltss.net/forums/advanced-performance-modifications-130/what-does-hole-no-1-piston-%3D-94870/ you will be glad you honed the cylinders I did the same and I am at 2000 miles and still going strong not a drop of oil burned. Now if my turbo kit would just get here.

P.S. dont forget to change oil at 50 and 500 miles

damn they look shiney bro.....i hope to have my engine forged by the end of summer....something about a turbo forged 2.4 motor that screams torque to me...anyways good luck with the break in and i hope she holds up for ya

kburgess04

glad things are working out!! that 500 miles of babing it is gonna be torture!!!

mike25

btw those grinding/shining wheels in the pictures look rough...lol

Might I ask how you honed with crank/girdle still on? Did you just cover the bottom so you didn't get shavings on the crank, or did you just make sure to clean the block out good.

I just finished my 4th LSJ about a week ago in California, you won't have any troubles timing it, very simple design.

*TRIX*

left the girdle on but cleaned the entire thing like crazy. and what grindings? the actual honing of the block?

WSFrazier

Yeah, I assumed giving the sleeves a little hone would leave a little bit of metal. All the ones I built had low miles and didn't need honed.

*TRIX*

yeah mine had really low miles also but the fact is that i am better off honing it and reseating the rings and whatnot again

now trix what are you planning on pushing?? I mean you built the car why are people sayin that they hope she holds up, it should hold up no problem if its built am i rite??

iLLmaTic3s

nice work bro. keep it up.

mike25

yes if its built right it SHOULD hold...you always run the risk of getting a faulty part that may fail but thats how the game goes...i have no doubt his motor will last

2fastSS

yah i hope so too im thinking bout going this route here soon also just am not sure yet i wanna see more people and their numbers and so forth before i drop the 6 grand into parts
