well its actually a guy named wes, he used to work at all out performance but he went out and started doing it himself. he has a company name but i dont remeber it. the only complaint i have is that the build took 10 weeks. i know other people around springfield that can do these things faster and possibly even better than wes. pm me and i will give you the number to a great mechanic here in springfield.

well hes just looking for someone to do regular tune ups on the car. change filters, change/regap plugs, oil, problem with the car here and there. not really a builder lol. he's got an '01 monte ss. i'd do the work myself but its a 3 and a half hour drive. one way.

tell him to look up extreme imports. i know the owner and basically all the mechanics there. tell him to specifically request charles. i feel he is the best mechanic there and will do great work on your brothers car.

thats a lot of lube on them main bearings...

iTrader: (1)

is there more to that statement? maybe a reason why or how that amount of lubrication is bad?

gearhead07

i was always told to just barely coat them.

i didnt up the compression, just the stock 9.5:1

i assumed you were saying use less, i was just wondering the reasoning behind it.

honestly i was never given a reason. when i tore mine down for the first time thats what i was tought. didnt really ask why. but ive always just put a light coating on every bearing ive ever lubed and ive never had any problems bearing wise.
