Lets get this out of the way, put a 350 in it, Well I dont want to.

well first I sent crank out to get cleaned up and then reinstalled it with new main bearing and rod bearings

All new rings installed also

LT1 Cam and comp cam springs 5703, all intake and exhaust valves were cleaned of carbon, and reinstalled with all new valve seals and O rings

The orginal head swirls were ported




Started to reassemble the heads after a quick paint job of chevy orange on the heads and block



Next



Removed all the old freeze plugs and installed New



Next will be installing double roller timing chain, cam and lifters and rods, still looking for a set of 1.6 roller rockers self aligning

any comments or question will be appreciated

UPDATE sent my intake and oil pan out for powercoat at a friends pick them up today


also installed the heads, new rear main seal and timing chain cover

 

Yeah, don't use visegrips on the crankshaft.
Get one of these.

 

personally im glad chevy quit painting their engines orange.,

 

Yeah, they went from a bright color to black.
Black is really exciting

 

well the weather in new york was nice for a few days so i got a lot done, but not on the camaro, I lifted my sons xterra 3"
But i did get the heads back on the camaro and did remove the fly wheel the bolts were a serious pain in the *** they had to be headed and chisled toremove rear main seal.

Now i need to get 1.6 roller rockers self aligning and water pump
