Progress pictures w/ new goodies
Started as me going to reseal the notorious LT1 intake manifold leak, and decided since im going to have the intake off, might as well go a little further.
so, besides being lazy and it getting cold I didnt get to far:
Maybe if it didnt get dark JUST as i get home from work, I wouldn't be so reluctant to work on it. I did come home work and these were sitting on my steps:
Yup I ordered the lt4 hot cam kit that also came with springs, locks, and retainers ....

ok, heres a progress update:
the cam is in, rob got 12 outta 16 valve springs done. I need to get plugs, timing chain, and a AFPR. Would have gotten further, but the damn temperature drop got us along with .... yeup .. you guessed it ... getting dark early. Plus, I put a nice gash on my face with a head-but to the exhaust braket .....

Looking good, I hate working on LT1's but more power to you! I think you will be happy with the new set-up.

yea, everything went well. Minor speedbumps were 1) trying to pull the crank hub, not realizing we had to use a skinny bolt in the crank first 2) trying to fish the spark plug air fitting in eash cylinder 3) when i smacked my face under the car giving me a nice gash
I just woked a little bit each night when I got home from work. But since its not my daily driver, nor do i drive it realyl at all, i wasnt in a rush so if I would have gotten in a bind that costed me a lot of time it wasn't a big deal...
