Wow talk about distracting, the flames are so bad that I never noticed it didn't have door handles. :shock: Now I see why changing it was a priority.
Clearing space in the garage, prepping to pull the motor for a complete reseal.. the real build will be this winter...
Originally pulled it for a complete reseal because it was pouring out oil everywhere.. mainly the front cover, oil pan and valve cover gaskets..Pontiac455 said:
Then upon removal ive found lifters that are coming apart.. so now im ordering a new camshaft, lifters, valve springs....
Sending the heads to the machine shop in the morning to have them checked for any valve seal and guide issues...
While I had a bit of downtime, port matching and polishing the heads while they are off, then sending to the machine shop for new guides and valvetrain assembly.
Not alot of progress going on lately..
Got the porting on the heads done, sent to machine shop, need all new guides, replacing all valves, installing hardened exhaust seats due to them being an Gen 1 head, need new seats on the intake side too, and a resurface......
Hopefully have them back by the end of the week. Then reassembly can begin.
