SIKDMAX LMM painfully slow Install/Build Thread

[SIKDMAX]

Been lining parts out and stuff. First step, first issue lol.

4 bolts holding CP3 on to block. 2 top ones are 2 shorties, 2 lowers are long, 1 has a bracket on it. Which side does the bracket go to and which way is it oriented?

can i post up pics without having to edit them for file size? like one straight from my camera about 800kb

 

[motohed]

passenger side i believe. looking at my pics now

 

[motohed]

[SIKDMAX]

You da man!

Running to the shop to drill and bolt my motor mounts.

Next step would be intake bridge I guess. I beleiver there were metal gaskets between the head and bridge on each side, correct?

no, orings

 

[SIKDMAX]

OK good cuz I couldnt find the gaskets! LOL.

Then after that if I want to tackle stuff on the front of the motor, or starting of the turbo. Wish I had the copper orings.

 

[motohed]

ya, either or. when doing the front of the motor, you need to route the single harness that goes to the sensor on the black oil pan behind the ac bracket and up to the top of the motor.

before the coolant "y" bridge, run this fuel line.

when doing the turbo, dont forget the heat shield. not like i forgot.....

That isn't a fuel line I was working on that one tonight it is a coolant line. Matt be very careful with that whole tube it could cause serious leaks

Matt if you mean your intake manifolds you need the Gm grey sealer looks like honda bond to seal to the heads.then the square shaped rubber gaskets for the bridge.

Ya but its it ok? I know the topic of a race valve is debatable.

ive had one installed for almost 70,000 miles, and if anyone has seen my truck, its no doubt a work truck/daily driver. I had a shimmed valve before that and it worked ok, but the race valve is much better.

Tap the pan for the 2nd turbo oil drain line. I can shoot you pic's and measurements if needed.

Also while the motor is still out I would drop the pan when doing it to be safe and make sure nothing gets into the motor.Not that hard putting the lower pan back on just need the gm sealer.
