Default Under the knife...again.




​​​​​​​Lost a lifter and ate a cam lobe so out the short block comes and many upgrades to follow.

Most of the parts are in so assembly can begin. As is usually the case the direction for the motor has changed to prep it for boost down the line...hence the ATI Super Damper. Went with Diamond pistons as well since I got a smoking deal on them just after Wiseco acquired the company.

Yep - starting assembly tomorrow. Upgrading the fuel system as well to get it ready for the Procharger add to come. Taking it back to Alvin @ PCM of NC in June for the LSXRT install and retune.
