Well, I would have loved to have gotten more shit done, but I’m happy that I at least got to work on it and get some progress.

My friend came by and put my crank pulley on and showed me the proper way to install the rockers.  During the week I had been scrubbing the crap out of the motor, and you can see that in one pictures.

I also had the misfortune of discovering that my transmission bell housing had some damage on it I was unaware of when I bought it.  Apparently the pressure plate had exploded in it and put a hole in the side of the bell housing.  To top it all off, a piece of it was broken off the bottom as well.  I took it to the local LS1 place, VA Speed.  They have an excellent welder who welded this tin can of a bell housing back together and cleaned up the hole from the pressure plate explosion.  I am probably going to just put duct tape over it or something, the metal was too thin there to be welded and they said it will not matter.

I also pulled the fender on the other side of my car (where the bondo is).  It pulled like crap so hopefully  it is pulled out enough and it’ll just get cleaned up when it gets painted.

I also forgot to include my two surgery photos from when I trimmed the block for the LS6 PCV conversion on the last post.
