Not sure, but when he had it idling and did a compression test they were all over 200psi. Friday when he noticed an oil leak and they did another test the highest one was 150psi and many were under 100psi

Fuuuuu....

LS swap candidate if ever I've seen one.

LS swap candidate if ever I've seen one.

Im sure the drive train loss powering one wheel would be minimum, ultimate dragster.

TMS supplied Wiseco Pistons. They initially sent me S52 pistons, sent them back and told them I needed M52 pistons and first I was told 6 weeks, but then they showed up to the machine shop 2 weeks later. The Machine Shop was skeptical that they were the right ones, but I called TMS and they told me they were the right ones. Im just pissed because Ive spent a good amount of money to make sure this motor is built right and after thousands of dollars, its basically back to square one. Im heading into month 7 of this engine build

Sucks when shit like that happens. Hopefully the machine shop makes it right for you. Good luck on whatever route you decide to go with it next.

Also, cleaned out my storage. I think it's time for an end of year garage sale...

I'd put an LS in pretty much everything if I had the time.

Fucking word.


After I got my GTO I wanted to LS swap my lawnmower and my cat.

its easy now to go back and say I shouldve done, or shouldve done that. the fact is that I did everything I could to have it done right. shit happens. ive wasted money on enough things in my life to brush this off (eventually). for now its just really really frustrating.

I've been really hot to trot for older cars (again) recently. I yearn for a Volvo 122s, VW Karmann Ghia coupe, Fiat 124 Spider, VW type 3.
