Re: new guy 99 GTP total transformation
My block wasnt line bored. I think the rebuild killer is people not knowing how to correctly rebuild an engine. If you dont know what the **** your doing but you think you do, then any engine...L67 or otherwise will fail immediately. There is 0% room for error when assembling. You mess up one tiny step it wipes out the whole project. I had a customer who built his own mitsu 4g63 and wanted me to look it over because he thought "the lifters are ticking". When I looked in the car the oil press. gauge was at 0 and the light was on and it had a death rattle in the bottom end. I asked him where he got the torque specs for the mains and rods and he said at first he tightened them with a breaker bar but the crank wouldnt turn so he loosened them all a half a turn....:th_nervous: You have to have SOME general repair knowledge and decent common sense.

Re: new guy 99 GTP total transformation
So I changed my mind on spending money on interior and stereo junk. Picked up a aeroforce, N*/LQ4, Gen V/l32 LIM, full size intercooler, 2.8 & 2.7 pulley instead. Need to make some more $$$ yet this winter to pick up a bunch more stuff like tires for my 17's a fmhe and ic pump, a new wideband sensor and the big one... a input shaft.

Re: new guy 99 GTP total transformation
Hopefully there's not a rod sticking out of the side of the block by may....havent really done anything that hasn't been done 100 times just trying to keep it clean and reliable. There was a comment somewhere on one of my pictures about "pie plate pulley", this should take care of that.

If the rod did go through, then just put it on a trailor and haul it there for the effor, or get a stock motor with the pie plate pulley! lol

Re: new guy 99 GTP total transformation
Ugh...not a big fan of Lapeer honestly. The back half is pot holes and broken concrete, not fun coming through at 110 with the rear suspension cabled. They dont know what to do when a fwd pulls up on slicks so they won't let me pull through the water to warm them up and I don't think I've ever seen them prep the track...ever. I'll be at Norwalk at least twice this year and probably make the haul to 131 at least once. Other than that its mid mich. or ubly for me!
