How many miles did you put on it since last year?
I am assuming you did make your track date on the 19th lol

Nothing crazy. My guess, lifter tray was worn and the lifter turned sideways. I was on my way home from work, maybe going 25-30 MPH.

I already slammed some junk together and got the truck back up and running. It's a 2002 LQ4 long block out of a Denali, 862 heads, Texas Speed CHOPacabra cam and matching valve springs. Had it retuned on 93, not really impressed by the numbers. But, it runs really well for junkyard parts - as in excellent oil pressure, doesn't overheat, is reliable.
My torque converter did some strange stuff on the dyno. Possibly it wants to leave the chat too. Might be replacing that soon before it fails and destroys the transmission. I have a few converters to pick from.
Goal is to make a few passes, try not to puke when I see how slow it is. Then get my other engine together with the better top end parts.

Traction bars are on, they work - no more wheel hop. They hit the tires hard, my street tires are worthless at anything under 30 MPH.
Not so great news, my good friend that did all my tuning for the past 20 years closed up shop and moved out of state. So I either need to find a new tuner, or get unlazy and learn HPT.
Still trying to find a day/time to get to the track and see how it performs as is. I'm happy to report that the junkyard engine still has great oil pressure and runs well.
