So last night a got my old v6 back. This morning I started working on it and so far its almost stripped, just gotta get ahold of an impact to take off the head bolts and then i'm down to the block. Oh yeah, my new 3800 which i bought to put in the car for now, it has a tick! Stupid people. its warranteed but now the service engine light popped on and its rattling. VERY aggrivating.

 

Take alot of pictures. Good luck with the project.

 

good luck with the project and that sucks that its already knocking i would be pissed

 

OH i am very pissed. But good news i got the heads off and they are nice, i also found out which piston went bad... lol but the rest are nice. The inside of the cylinder was good so far. Tomorow is the dday of this tear down. If the cylinder is bad then i need to buy a new block, if not then i can use this block just use forged parts, i also grinded the crud off the tapit covers and the top of the intake, they are both shiny silver. I am goin to paint them red with black stripes to match the car, kinda like viper motors. But i really want to do a paxton supercharge build but its pry to much, so i'll pry do a nitrous ready cammed motor. Which is attainable and it should run pretty well

 

thats good its nice when its not as bad as you thought when you get down into your project

 

it sounded pretty bad lol

 

i one time had a lose rocker in my 63 and it sounded like it was going to fall apart in any second

 

Good Luck with the project man...

 

a loose rocker? hmmm that may be the problem because i just got my heads and oil pan off. Supposedly the crank was broken and it had a snaped piston rod, well the cylinder is clean, the crank is solid, and there are no broken pistons... so wtf was making that crazy loud knocking
