I got my block (6.0L) back from a local machine shop a couple of weeks ago. I hadn't had time to get it on the stand and look it over until this weekend. All I had done was have the block cleaned and brush honed and the crank turned. I figured I would be safe with having just those things at a local place. Anyways, I was looking over the block this evening and found that the idiot plugged the two front oil passages next to the cam. Thank goodness I found them my motor wouldn't have lasted five minutes!!!

 

get those out..go over it closely..more could be fucked up

 

I got them out right away. I'm going to go over that thing with a fine tooth comb!! Hopefully everything else is going to be ok.

 

I would call him up and ask what else he plugged!
Any idea why he did that?

 

im with this retard..call em up and ask them what else they plugged

 

I've compared it to another block I have and I can't see anywhere else that has been plugged and shouldn't. What I don't get is it doesn't even look like a place where there should be a plug! I have no idea what he was thinking.

 

I see your in beaumont, I live in bridge city. who did you go to? In orange procell is working with all kind of gen 3 gen 4 gm motors and he is a little high on his work but you get what you pay for. He even has alot of brand new ls2, ls3, ls7, and lsx blocks in stock at the shop should you choose to ever buy a new block. He told me he is willing to price match on my 418 build.

 

 

Hey thanks, I've been looking for a place nearby that works on these motors! I thought I'd have to go to Houston. I knew there where some machine shops in Orange but didn't know anything about them. I've only lived in the Beaumont area for a few years.

 

I would go check them out when you get a chance
