I don't wanna have to worry about the meth running out and blowing **** up and e85 is so much cheaper. i'm not worried about losing any mpg. I'm not sure if I should go with the lsj fuel pump or something aftermarket

If he's still on the stock pump then I'm not gonna bother changing it out.

I got the timing chain back on tonight! hopefully I can get the rest put back together tomorrow. Also I looked at my wastegate and one of the little bolts is missing. Would I have to contact Tial to get a new one?

yeah, i'd call em. i need a tiny screw as well. my son bent one trying to get the cap back on. i love that kid but he gets lazy as **** sometimes and makes the worst mistakes.

Tundraboarder666

You still have stock sleeves as well?

06_ion2

yup I am, stock crank too. I really want a zzp block tho

Tundraboarder666

Well **** that makes me happy: )

06_ion2

only problem I got is blowby. A night of frum rolling on the highway will eat a quart of oil

Tundraboarder666

hmm... that's a lot of oil man... what pistons do you have?

woot it's alive! afr was in the 16s at idle but i broke the v band on the exhaust so that could be why it's reading off. I was so scared to start it and then it just started like it did before i took it apart and it felt great! All I have to do tomorrow is bleed the clutch and put the bumper and hood back on and test drive it

Tundraboarder666

Congrats man!

its just oil. I have wiesco 8.9 I think my installer did the rings wrong tho.

Looking good, I believe werks did my first oil change at like 15 miles, conventional oil, might be something you want to do. I'm doing second one at 1000 and changing to Mobil 1

Tundraboarder666

Gotcha, Yeah I have the same... It will be interesting to see if i do or not. I know I don't right now.

Thanks for the info. I was gonna do like 500 miles and then change it again. What grade oil conventional oil did Werks put in there? The guy that balanced my crank said I should use some 10W40. This thing just wants to be in boost all the time now!

This is how I do oil changes on fresh motors. Intial start I always use conventional oil over synthetic its cheaper. I start it let it run for 30 minutes change the oil. 15 miles change, 50 miles change 100 change, 500 change, 1000 change, 3000 change. It hasn't failed yet.

Tundraboarder666

Seems a little redundant no? But I guess it wont ever fail.
Gotta make sure the rings sit properly too if you're putting in new pistons which I would never let it sit and run for 30 mins.
I changed my non detergent oil at 500 miles. Then went back to synthetic.

you only need to do it once lol....run a break in oil such as brad penn or royal purple break in oil. New technology is nothing like old ****...A motor seats the rings within the first 30 minutes of operation time, but we always run a car UNDER LOAD for 2-3 hours. Old engines and rings took days and days to seat correctly that is why everyone thinks the same way today. Also when u break it in put a strong small magnet in the crankcase to catch any small metal shavings. Im not bashing on you but thats a LOT of money wasted in oil when there is no need for it and i wouldnt wanna see you waste money. Clutch is wat takes longer to break in.

My uncle is an engine builder, ive built 3 motors personally including the 2.2 in my cobalt, and i know 4 guys with machine shops and every motor they build is broken in the same amount of time. Last one was a 540 bbc that will be dynoed in the car this week and should be over the 1800+ hp amount easily.

I'm running 10w40 right now and i was going to do the first oil change at like 300. should i run 10w40 again or can i switch to synthetic that early? sucks we're supposed to get 4-8 inches of snow today

i'd just use 5w30 dino oil for another 500 or so.

i've been using 5w30 conventional for the first 800 miles so far. changed the oil at 400 and it looked good. gonna switch back to synthetic at 1000 miles.
