LOL, I will try and get pictures up this week... have to dig them out

 

Thanks brother

 

By this weekend.... lot of bad stuff going on right now...

 

Sorry to hear that man, no rush, take your time

 

Not Sure if I took long enough, but I actually rememberd to get those pictures...

The Rod on the right in all 3 pictures is the newer LS2 Style rod.

 

thanks for the pics to compare!
got the rodbolts in without a problem. did them one at a time and torqued 3 times. just waiting on the heads now so i can continue.

 

what do you mean burnishing the threads??

 

It's a term that's used meaning to break in the threads. Tooling wears the more threads you cut. The reason you burnished them is so the threads on the 2 parts wear together creating a more equal contact area for the fastner. This will allow it to get a more accurate torque reading.

 

Good to hear!
Budhayes was curious also on how to tell the difference and I promised him I would get those up. I've been so busy I totally forgot until I got involved in this top secret junk yard project...
