Subject: Re: 1989 L98 Engine rebuild - Part 1: removal by Matatk on 2010/4/3 11:41:53 Andy - I've heard of guys removing the LT1 a lot faster than the L98. I don't know why. I did have air tools. An impact gun and an air ratchet help a lot. With the air ratchet, it's a good idea to break any stuck bolts loose first with a breaker bar, then use the air ratchet for the tedious stuff. Thanks for clearing up what that sensor is, guys. Sliding - at this point it's a little up in the air. I have a set of edelbrock heads, lightly ported, an edelbrock high flow base/SLPs/stock plenum all gasket matched and cleaned up, and a cam sitting on the shelf that will go on. For the bottom end my ideal goal is a stroker, but will depend on cost differences. I have to get this over to the builder and see what he thinks. The cylinder walls didn't look too bad but I honestly didn't inspect them well. I did, however, feel a decent sized ridge at the top of cylinders so that will be addressed with the machine work. I didn't open up the oil pan and check the bearings or crank. Matthew |
