Finally finished

picture with the valves in the head and a port pic? otherwise i have plenty of port pictures.. ceramic coating could be a possibility, im havin my turbine done at scotts, so i could swing over there..

[RedBird]

i would totally coat the chambers and exh. ports. hell, i've heard you can buy some stuff to do it yourself, if i can find it and it looks worth it, i'm totally doing it. and it'd be totally more worth it for you, keeping as much heat as possible inside the motor/pipes/turbo will give you the best setup possible(i know you already know this)

[torq455]

i'd coat the pistons too. i wouldn't do it myself. i'm too afraid of the coating flaking off!

[MidnightriderZ24]

im not too worried about coatings as of yet... plus putting a coating on myself i would worry about having hot spots in uneven places.

well i got the engine in finally... i went over to the house at 2pm with 2 cases of beer and a couple buddies, got the heads on, sat and drank alot..then at 6 we kinda figured we should get to the real reason why we were there: put the engine in! i put it in with no intakes though, i didnt have my lifters done yet..i got those put together tonight. tomorrow at work im going to tap out the intake coolant pipe hole to fit my 3 wire coolant temp sensor. then put the lower intake on, and start on my new trans mount (makin room for the turbo).

hey paul any chance you can get a weight comparision on that PS pump pulley VS the stock one? and is there any difference in diameter?

sry i couldnt find a scale anywhere, but the metal pulley feels slightly lighter than the plastic, as for a measurement i can get that, kinda forgot.

[IsaacHayes]

techline makes some good coatings that would work for pistons and headers, turbo/etc etc etc ... look into them.

Not sure if it was posted before but where did you get the ps pump pulley?

[Superdave]

Good luck with those LS6 springs..

your IH will be taller though, that might help.

[MidnightriderZ24]

Not sure if it was posted before but where did you get the ps pump pulley?

its off of the vvt 3500's. looks so much better and more durable then the shitty plastic. yeah we will see about the springs... i kinda bought them be4 i chose the stage 4 cam instead of the stage 3. but the install height should help a little.. if i gotta change them i have the tool to pump up some air in the cylinders.

[IsaacHayes]

It does look good. My plastic one lasted about 160-170k before it cracked. Nothing $15 didn't solve though. lol

hey have you been able to do that mount for me i havent heard back from u on v6z24 yet but this looks like suttn i may want to do on my 3400 swap

totally forgot that was on v6. ive gotta locate some steel quickly first.

[Superdave]

Paul, do you have a part number for that pully? Mine is cracked and this would be a nice upgrade..

[IsaacHayes]

Yeah x2 on the part #. If mine cracks ever again I'd rather put this nice unit on. I take it fits just the same? Hey Dave, does yours sound supercharger with that cracked pulley? Mine did... lol
