Just a quick note to say thanks for the excellent posts, Grip. I myself am in the middle of a similar teardown and your photos and descriptions have been an invaluable aid. Thanks again and take care.

Like you LS2 cam gear, the bolts for your valley cover are LS6 bolts, the LS2 rods and I would be willing to bet your pistons are the same they put in the LS2s. Guess it cuts costs to use the same rods and pistons in all the 4" bore engines even if the rods are a little more beefy(maybe expensive?). Wonder if your motor came with the LS6 oil pump?
