What did you do to your G-Body today? [2011-2018]

NPSM did you use Teflon tape when installing them?

You shouldn't need teflon, the fittings he posted come with O-rings. I have AN adapters in my TH350 and they just use sealing washers.

No, but haven't leak tested, either. They have a copper crush washer. I used them in my Silverado, and they were okay....
I think I read somewhere that tape might crack the trans.

Spent the night lapping valves.
Sidenote: damn my bearings are shiny.

If the heads have had a recent 3 angle valve job with a deep throat cut, I would take a dremel with a 1/4" crosscut carbide burr and improve/clean up the short side radius on the heads. It looks pretty sharp.

Are the valves factory? If they are I would have the machine shop back cut the intakes. Usually this is just 5-10 bucks per valve. Stainless valves are already made that way.

Prepped the General Lee for duty again so I can move the Monte outside when needed. Gave him a fresh quart of Mobil 1 5w30 (leftovers from Natasha's Colorado), splash of high test, greased up the chains, bearings, and shafts... and added a little extra kick (NAWZ!).

Also seems someone took up residence in him.
