UPDATE TIME!!!
I found the LE5 locally out of an 06 G6.
Also got my head gasket from the dealership at cost and ordered the timing kit as well.
When payday comes again, I will order the ARP studs and begin the fun part.

Didn't your tensioner fail because you didn't put new guides in? Either way, good to hear that your valves are fabulous with vegetable juice. Pretty sure mine will be very efficient after everything is said and done. Plus prove to the nay-sayers what can and can't be done.

Not sure on how much HP I pushed. I was under the assumption that I was in the 230 range, trying to be conservative against GM's 250 mark. Guess I was wrong.
Usually people break the rings and things are simple. Mine just had to ride the rebel bus and blow a hole in the block lol.

If u want to buy stock pair brand new. Go to rock auto.com they are always cheaper than gmpartdirect. And shipping is fast. Bought all my stuff there and they have gasket kits also and other kits like for the timing kit. So u don't have to buy it individually.
