I would have tried the lid spacer until he quoted me 600 bucks. I didn't want to pay that much

hammdo · 09-06-2017, 08:00 PM

Well, I was lucky. Got in on the pre release special. $450 shipped before they left the forum.

Gonna try this one out and see if it really helps...

Here is my ATI/Lingenfelter pulley update:

The 18% OD pulley:

I have to 'grind' out a small area on the passenger's side mount for the compressor, but pretty much this is a plug-n-play update (do have to also replace the power-steering pulley)

Getting things boxed up along with all the extra stuff I'll need. Should make for a fun and interesting trip ;o)

I would Highly recommend the ARP balancer bolt if you aren't already.

Its just under 30 bucks, but you will see my point once you hold them beside each other.

hammdo · 09-07-2017, 12:15 PM

Yep, we have that ;o). This kit came with the factory, but I already had the ARP bolt.

Never hurts to remind me ;o)

hammdo · 09-07-2017, 12:16 PM

BTW, Andy @ ADM has a forged LSA for sale:

Just took it out!

-Don

ABADZL1 · 09-07-2017, 01:10 PM

Mic the crank vs. The balancer before it's put on. Mine was actually tight. Took it back off to re cam and thought I was going to break the crankshaft. Twisted a 3/8 tool steel dowel rod pulling that thing off

hammdo · 09-07-2017, 01:21 PM

Aaron and the guys should be on it, but I'll remind them...

Thanks!

-Don

hammdo · 09-07-2017, 01:50 PM

I should mention this is an LSA block with an LS3 forged rotating assembly...

Yes Sir, I figured you did but that picture scared me

hammdo · 09-07-2017, 04:33 PM

Bolt was taped to the box. Too lazy to take it off for the pic ;o)

-Don

hammdo · 09-08-2017, 12:02 PM

Heads on and leakdown test!

Aaron said his gauges are 'old' but calibrated @ 5% so any reading needs to subtract 5%:

So, that needle is close to the high green mark! Getting excited for sure...

Push rods, rockers next!

Sexy Beast!

hammdo · 09-08-2017, 04:04 PM

Push Rod preload check:

going with 7.400!

hammdo · 09-08-2017, 07:49 PM

My reusable track numbers have shipped!

Here is the format:

Ready for the 19th!
