LMM: Built Motor

[jckleewein]

I was to. I kept waiting to see if it would go down anymore. I am sure there were a lot of people that were waiting for that as well.

CONGRATS! A built motor is a dream for many people! I think a set of 100 overs would suit you just fine. Those turbo's can clean up most of the smoke if not all of it, and iirc your tuner is rob. He could build you some tunes to keep it from hazing i would believe!

Thank you!

If I was at sea level I would do 100% in a heart beat. I am not for sure how smokey the truck will be at 5800 ft. with 100% over injectors. I am sure Rob will be able to tune what ever % I choose.

i know trent runs 100% overs and he is clean at 4300 ft at rmr or maybe its 4200 ft?? course maybe that 1000ft will make to much a difference i will hopefully have the money to get carillos before i go to put the motor together

Ahhh!! Thin air. I didn't pay attention where you were at. I live in AL and in my home town i am at 26 feet above sea level BUT the humidity is terrible so using pats calculator with everthing figured in it is like being at 100 and something but that is still way less than your altitude!

I need some new C grade head gaskets. Where is the cheapest place to get these?

PM Henry (ripmf666) he can take care of you

 

[jckleewein]

Will do. Thank you:thumb:

I have 2 new C gaskets from GM, if you want them you can have them.

 

[jckleewein]

Those things are not cheap. Let me know how much.


What is the best way to remove the damper bolt? I have a 36 mm socket, but I can get the bolt to bust loose.

 

[whitetrash21]

1/2 or 3/4 drive with a 3 foot breaker bar.

 

[delong_1]

use an extension in the flywheel to hold it, i will pm you about the gaskets.

 

[jckleewein]

Is the bolt a reverse thread?

 

[delong_1]

nope, normal threads.

 

[wdino73]

It's normal thread an torques around 275fts. I use a 3/4 impact.

 

[8100 Power]

Are you tearing the motor down that you bought?

Maybe have your wife give it a try :baby:

Be nice smoking he's a virgin. LOL

Yeah, I want to use better head studs. I know there are a lot of people that haven't had any issues with regular ARP studs, but if something bad is going to happen it will happen to me. I am also going to have the block decked. It's probally not necessary, but I can't have my truck down later on for something that I should have done from the get go.

Maybe have your wife give it a try :baby:

:rofl: I had her out there helping me last night, but she is to tiny to get enough power to hold the flywheel still.

Be nice smoking he's a virgin. LOL

I like tearing stuff apart by myself. It's the accomplishment feeling.
No this damn bolt is tight. I have a friend that I am going to introduce to the bolt tonight. It's called a torch.
