Black weld rts would be awesome but sooner or later my fireturd will be sporting a set so it wouldn't be purely unique.

Do not buy the msd opti the bearing is crap. Either new gm or a 24x conversion. If were on the topic of shitty oil pumps the lt1 takes the cake with its poor oil pressures. Most lt1s still operate near the stock rev limit and yet still have problems while the majority of ls motors thrive as they operate 600-1200 rpm above the factory rev limit. even if you fix the opti you still have a engine setup too run a weak ass timing chain. Yes you can fix that but then you still have the shitty computer and opti, by the time you fix all the plagues of the lt1 you could have bought 2 or 3 ls swaps or atleast have one really nice setup in the car.

trade you your nitrous kit back? probably would sell easier.

The truck is Legit, and David is a good guy too deal with. The engine noise is very faint in my opinion and i believe some Lucas would probably eliminate it. If not it couldnt be anything more than a set of bearings that could probably be done in the truck.

The cable is either bound up or twisted or is poor quality. Be careful u may damage ur firewall if u dont fix this. Also make sure ur quadrant is shimmed properly so the cable has a straight shot coming in instead of going to the side.

I have a king cobra and a stock turned flywheel in good condition for 125.

Well I don't do this anymore but when i first started timing motors I put the clips for keeping a stack of paper together to keep the belt on the top timing gears. You'll be fine just turn it over a couple times by hand after you have released the tensioner and make sure everything is lined up.

Sounds like a small exhaust leak but it should be present in all gears may be what your noticing in 3rd too

I would much rather do a timing belt than a tranny, but thats because im a light dude. If you need to save money DIY and if stumped post up in tech help. Just know if you have you doubts or suspiciousions stop and think about it or ask questions dont just blow thru stuff.

And its not anything too hard like you guys are discussing however it hasnt been brought up that alot of the crank bolts are difficult to brake loose without air. Couple of the guys I used to work with had 3/4 inch guns just for that bolt. My half inch needs everything it has got to break even a low mileage car loose. Also the valve adjustment sucks, I've seen quite a few techs at immke pay another tech not because they couldnt do it but because it sucks and if they had one as sidework they would rather just throw there buddy 50 bucks too do it and make 450 out of a 500 dollar job.

Reason I wasnt the cheapest is i do everything like I would do to my own car. I strive to do the best work for as cheap as possible instead of doing the cheapest work as possible as fast as i can. Like I warned you don't neglect the valve adjustment or replacing the other parts that wear with the timing set. Also a tranny cooler and new Honda atf z1 fluid and coolant to help with the longevity of the transmission. My offer still stands 500 plus parts at my cost, just don't go to whoever said they can do it for 200 including parts because they are certainly cutting corning.
