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

You learn not to care anymore. Its just a money pit that doesn't move ;)

yup, throw a fender cover over it if you dont wanna look. I either do that or busy myself w/ interior work

Its amazing how many spider webs these things get after 3 months!!!

I am wondering why the headgasket failed? That is pretty uncommon on the whiteblocks

I used a cheap headgasket set, leaky HG, all 4 camseals, and intake gasket, Ill take a pic of all the oil on the side of the block when it comes out. Im using all oem this time
