    A brand new stock LX9 timing chain & gears have been sent out for "thermo cycle" cryo treatment, at a cost of $42.66.

    cryogenic processing information that will bennifitt most interested parties.


    I have no idea if this is money well-spent, but at $42, it's not going to break the bank.

      Parts are starting to trickle back again.

      Today I received the cryo-treated timing set, plus a few shiny things that I've been waiting on for a very long time.....

          no kidding! looks really good!


          just a suggestion, if you haven't already, paint the lower intake with silver paint to prevent it from oxidizing, it'll help keep everything looking great!

            Still no major progress on the engine, since I'm still waiting on the cam & springs (which should be here soon).

            But the big news is that I bought another V6! I've been needing a basic full-sized truck for a while (who doesn't need one?) and ran across a super-clean 1-owner 2002 Chevy Silverado with the 4.3L V6. Well, the price was right and now I have something to move parts from point A to point B.

            I suspect this will make me VERY popular with friends who are planning on buying furniture or moving.

              What's better
              Than having a truck ?....Having a friend with a truck! (This is even more true with boats!)

                Success! The delivery truck just pulled up with a special package that's been anticipated for months! Standby for some major progress once again!!!!

                The only question I have is that the paper receipt on the cam says that it's for a V6 3.1/3.4L. I assume that this doesn't matter, and WOT ordered the right cam for me.

                  that's the right cam blank.

                    3.1, 3.4 and 3.5 non VVT all have the same camshaft design. Comp may just not have that listed in their books.

                          mock-up

                          I think it's going to look good. Hopefully it will run as nice!
