Worked on the GN again

Well yesterday i got home around 3pm, and got to work. Since i had the bottom end apart already, i started grabbing bearings and installing. Put all new rods and mains in, a set of ARP rod bolts and did alot of wrench work. You have to torque those rod bolts 3 times before a final pass to set them. I can see why, after the first pass i ended up with another 3/8ths of a turn to acheive proper stretch. Also installed a new oil pump and timing chain.

Ended up switching to a different flywheel as well as the 6.0 came with 2 different ones and i needed the other, go figure. So last night about 9:30 i started it up again after spinning it with no plugs to get good oil pressure, which is now 30psi cranking and 40psi at idle So today im gonna go finish it up again and hit the road

Took the car for a 60 mile test drive yesterday, runs very good and it was alot of fun. I forgot how fast this thing is and im only running about 6psi. The cheap ass header gaskets i got with my flanges leak all over though, i fucking hate exhaust leaks, but really dont give a shit anymore this year. Just need an alignment and put the new wideband on and im done with it till next year.
