So much for changing the external seals/gaskets, sticking a cam in and dropping in the LQ4. My OCD would not allow me to install the engine without making sure everything is 100% right. Stripped it to the bare block.
Dropped it off at the engine shop on Saturday (RF Engines and Development in Concord, NC)
Still not sure what all we will do. Still considering options that cover everything from a quick hone to a full stroker kit.
