The best pic I have right now is the side view that is posted. If you want a different pic it will be a few days before I can get one. How do I get the ROTM under my name next to my avatar pic? Thanks!!

craby and gorn

Got old intake out and now time for head work
New Engine is out of a 2009 Lacrosse with 10 miles on it
Looking to get a good valve job and some port matching done

What about port matching the upper and lower intake manifolds ??

Also I know that the heads cant be milled much but I heard about a angle milling .. what is it ?

are the head bolts use once then throw away ? would be weird I would think. So use the dampener that came with the 2009 motor. headers are going to be the stainless ones that are on ebay or worst case a set from pacesetter. We dont have a sniffer test in ohio or even a computer check is why I want to do away with eGR and maybe cataltic converter, I am going to try and use the 2009 alternator bracket with 2009 alternator and get away from the vintage 97 heater hose connections, Have you ever seen it done that way ... thanx for all the support too

hey big guy

Almost got the engine ready for removal, weekends in cinti have been too cold for April for a driveway mechanic.

Questions for ya .. engine is from a 2009 lacrosse with 10 miles on it.

replace head bolts
repalce rear main seal
use the old dampener or new dampener .. automatic
besides having to get a tune can I remove the EGR system
where to cut off existing exhaust pipe .. going to headers

thanx for any advise weird to look at new motor and still see factory markins on the pistons

Hey craby so the clutch went well then we found out that the flywheel was just to bad to turn so i chased 1 down after 2 days,they put it all back in and get ready to road test it onlley to find that the clutch line that runs from the slave cly to the master cly is blown man i cant find that part anywere,fac has one but it comes with slave master and all,i just need that hose do you have any thoughts on what i can do im way over buget on this job..pls help....ps fact whants 264.00 for that set up to fix it im already down 1000.00 in parts and still dont know what the labor for all this will run.....Its a bad day for the 4rth gen parts are to hard to get.........

hey craby can i bug you for a min?

Hey craby tanks 4 helping me on my ride a while back,man my clutch is out i have it in the shop and i dont have alot of options in the clutch area,i have found a zoom street performance for 415.99 and the stand oem repacment for 219.00.Its not about the money i run it hard and im just trying to get some feedback b4 my guy is done...lt1..t56. 4:10 gears....tnks man..

hey man, i just want you to know i'm not trying to argue with ya here. the kid doesn't know anything, and i'm trying to give him starter information, to realize everything has to have a circuit. any sort of tech talk seems to go right past him tho, so i'm off that topic-- just wanted to straighten me out a little lol

oh ok thats good. easier to find 2 bolt lt1 on craigslist by me anyways lol there is a machine shop about an hour or so from me that does just GM and mopar race motors so i will be going to them or machining and engine dyno.

Where did you get your 4 bolt block from? And was it a short block or bare block? I'm not sure i I want to splay mine to a 4 bolt or get a 4 bolt, but I do want to build it myself.
