    Piston to deck clearance and head gaskets

    A straight edge will get you close enough. With valve reliefs, about zero deck, stage 1 cam, running C gaskets, I spin two of these things 5800R's. Heads have been off a couple times, and no sign valves getting close. Math at time said we could run A gaskets, but have always ran C Mahle, so that...

    2014 Camaro SS LML Build Thread

    I started with just 2 10AN, no issues. The changes piston rings, forgot to break in again on non-synthetic oil, and started blowing the dipsticks out soon after. Doubled up then.. 2 cans, cheapest I could find with AN fittings welded and drains. Knocked the baffles out to get more flow, and...

    2014 Camaro SS LML Build Thread

    Well I wrote it all up real nice, then closed page by accident. My suggestions 1. Leave the deflectors on rocker rails, and bend up if need to better cover hole and knock down splashing oil from getting blown out. 2. Big catch can openings is most important. Trying to slow down the air speed is...

    Believe I've built a couple from scratch over the years. Last one just 6 months ago to help a youngster out by killing VATs for his basket case truck wiring issues. But I've always wanted one of the Official Big Dog Bench Flashing rigs for my collection. The LLY is what sucked me back into this...

    Got a box with some electrical hardware for Xmas. To my surprise, I finally scored an OG LLY bench programing harness.. or does that say 05? Can't wait to give it a try. ECM sold separately... [emoji16] Sent from my SM-S906U1 using Tapatalk

    December '25 Chat -- The Fat Man Cometh

    Looking at fun gifts for a future Engineer, I stumbled across the (de)Merit Badge collection by Adam Savage. As someone who excelled at demerits in school, I was instantly attracted. What a great set to share with friends. After review, realized I've earned this whole bundle on a single...

    Piston coatings?

    Watching a V10 Lambo tear down video, an has OEM coated cylinders. Looking pretty good at 20k miles, and considering the engine condition at tear down. Skipped to the good parts.. Rewind to see what came out of those holes. Source: https://youtu.be/qhH30G7980I?si=hjTt3VIqmCiuzGJI&t=4079

    L5P L5P Tuning

    Spent a whole day this past week trying to hack out some related 2024 Global B data on the bench. Had that GW module in the mix, but no ECM. Was able to communicate to the TCM with using the MDI, about as far as I got on it. Those new nodes all running CAN FD, and were quiet as a mouse until the...

    Piston coatings?

    Not a big fan of TBC, but other coating like graphite have been around for decades. I'd give it a shot..

    Twins with Twins, Anyone?

    I believe those log manifolds have the correct port spacing to fit a Duramax head. I know the 392 hemi log flanges can be modified to bolt up, but haven't measured the BBC set yet. The rest of those pieces all look a bit dated. 80-87 If I recall. A guy at our marina had a Banks twin turbo jet...

    November '25 Chat -- The Saints come marching in -- for turkey and the fixins!

    Sometime in the early 2000's all the local school's here started making Monday after Thanksgiving a day off. Before that, everyone including half the teachers just called in sick on opening day. I personally haven't gone out deer hunting in over a decade. Break out the old Winchester for this...
