Started to finish pulling the block/tranny out today hopefully I will have a set of pistons and rods in the next couple weeks. This car making SE6 depends entirely on how quick r-sport can get them to me, plus i gotta have the car for school the week after.

Just a lil refresher on what has happened...
At the start of the project

To this

Tonight

And most of what you see in that pic is already out
It would be out right now, but the axles wouldnt come out soooooo i gotta borrow the air hammer from my dads toolbox tomorrow at work

Enjoy! Hope to have it in the floor tomorrow night

It came off of world pac, its been over a year since it was in, idk what exact brand it was, but from looking at the gasket when we took it out it just looks like it failed to seal in several places. The block was true and so was the head, so it should have sealed, I blame it on the seal b/c the only seal that came in that kit that worked was the exhaust gaskets. I got a fuel smell under boost about 3 months after the initial assembly, and that lead me to a pinhole in the intake gasket.
