I'm just starting to catch up on your journey - page 2; but enjoying how you're sharing your love. Great lighting/filtering on your detailed pix. I went through page 1 3X.

Did you use plenty of cam assembly lube? It just looks a little dry in the lifter valley. Be sure to use a break in additive and follow the breakin procedure to the letter.

[KroAutomotiveInc]

Thanks guys its been quite the upgrade closing in on it though. Yes i used assembly lube as instructed. Also got Lucas break in additive.

Got new plugs and wires. Also fixing a few things with the wiring and making it look nicer. I got rid of my ground cluster that i never noticed till McMurphy pointed it out in witch its drove me nuts ever since lol. Also want to get a new battery cable and ground both are a little short and have always bothered me.






Also got new value cover accessory's, that chrome aisle can be dangerous on the wallet. Got the vented oil cap and t-handle valve cover bolts with the large hold downs.

[piratexpress1369a]

looking good ..stay at it

[mud.man.rj]

I agree, it sure has improved since you started, more to come I am sure.

[chevy_man5]

Looking great Kro! Keep it up!

[Zane M]

I saw the beast parked out in front of your place. Lookin' good!

[KroAutomotiveInc]

Thank you everyone! Shes been a project for sure i never thought i would have this much time into her but its hitting that turning point of everything being in working order! Got everything back together she fired up and not a one leak! Put new battery cables on and reran my power for the headlights to a fuse block thing to clean up the terminal.







waking the neighbors up: ) 2500 rpm cam break in.

Got this stuff out of a newer truck was able to do the hole truck under the seats and everything. When i started the truck i seriously thought something was wrong for a seconded because it was so quit lol. Also did the rag joint in the steering wow was that sucker sloppy! Its like a different truck steering wise.

[TJ's Chevy]

Looks nice bud! Any new vids of the engine running with the new cam?
