Satan still trying to collect on his vehicle, but running out of places to hide!
While the head was off decided it would be good policy to change out the valve guide seals, polish the valves, clean the chambers and do some un-shrouding, etc and look what was hiding on the backside of the number 3 intake valve.
Never, ever have I seen a SOHC valve with a crack like that. This car has been chock full of surprises.

Spawn from hell I swear.
Taking a few days off.

You deserve some time off from this thing! It did make it to SDAC and back in one piece. One fantastic-looking, questionably-running piece with no air conditioning, but one piece nonetheless.

There is no logical reason to call an Engine a motor.

Not exactly. Own glhs 313 but that video is tough to see on the computer.
Cant see the back door handles at all
CSX back in its natural habitat, up on jackstands! Changed out the rear shocks and dinked around with the rear caliper. Bushings fit but don't seem all the much tighter.

Came up with a set of TII rods and Mahle pistons and they are going in tomorrow!
Won't be running as I have other things to tinker with while the engine is apart.
Working on clearing the decks.
Four Mahle pistons all snug in their beds, oil pan buttoned up, head is in place and torqued down.
Might be running tomorrow but I doubt it, no hurry to make a mistake. Still have to change out the pass axle, clean a bunch of grease off firewall and power steering pump. Going to play with the motor mounts a bit to improve the axle angles.
And its freaken hot here.

Forgot to mention- Looked into the oil return hose, it was shot of course. Good thing I had spares.
EVERYTHING needs to be looked at close on this car. The good news is I'm running out of things to look at.

Between the Rampage and CSX the stash has been taking some hits.^The *other* good news is your stash of spare parts is holding up to the task
Good thing I believe in extras and then some more for good measure..

I guess that means you'll be getting in on Johnny's new batch of Rampage swaybars (anitswaybars?) then

The Rampage is more vehicle already than my wife needs or wants.
She went for a ride in the GTX for the first time yesterday, for extra spice a Z06 Corvette decided to play on the highway on the way to a car show.
Z06 lost.
And that was with the GTX toting 4 people. In all fairness to the Z06 I had the 4.10's in the back and the GTX is in good tune. I could see Faith clutching the armrest out of the corner of my eye. She is a good sport but high speed shenanigans is not her favorite thing.

CSX is ALIVE! Bwhahah. Fired up tonight and has sweet ring seal already. Still have some other issues to address, might be road testing tomorrow after work.

Nice! Way to go Gary. (That was quick!)
