Re: what did you get done 2/19/2012 edition

I got the headers & accessory brackets back from the p.coaters. Turned out nice for what I have into them. I started getting them back onto the motor today which led to a couple issues I'm working on now.

I seem to be missing some hardware for the belt tensioner so my buddy is going to see if he can get it through GM still. I also noticed on the replacement tensioner assembly that the bearing is made in China where the original GM part was made in USA. I purchased the top-of-the-line @ Oreillys (Gates) vs their house brand specifically to avoid the cheap China crap.

I'm going to look up some bearing info tomorrow & might just swap out the bearings if my buddy @ the dealership strikes out.

Building a small, high rpm engine with the perfect bore, stroke and rod ratio is very impressive.
It's like a highly skilled Morrocan sword fighter with a Damascus Steel Scimitar.....

Cubic inches is like Indiana Jones with a cheap pistol.
