I am one happy guy.. It feels so good. Thanks everyone on this forum for all the help!.. and some members for some parts on there.. geez.. round of beers!!! this is my first enine rebuild . I did one in school, but to a junk engine and it was just to learn how it works. This is my first real engine rebuild. I am so happy it started~ Great feeling! thanks again everyone. Couldnt have done it without you on this forum.. You all helped me so much when I needed it.

 

sounds nasty. great work man im happy for you

 

thanks man.. It feels great.. I need to get the drive shaft in and a few other things a go for a spin!.. I will do that tommorow. im excited.. I do need to adjust the idle stop, when cold the IAC cant keep it running. sound sweet at 400rpm tho..

 

Congratulations!

Had to chase 2 small coolant leakes, both from hoses. one I forgot to tighten a clamp, the other was a small crank that only leaked under pressure. but got it fixed and the car keeps it self cool.. I adjust the throttle stop screw and it idles on its own good now. I had to adjust it as far as it goes out to get it to idel. I didnt bleed the brakes yet but I took it for a ride and it ran good. it has some cam surge under 1800 or so. but not to bad. Its kinda hard to get started being a stage III clutch but its not horible I will get used to it.

I am using 42# injectors with a stock tune. the only thing this will do is make it run rich correct?.. I will get it tuned very soon. but can I go for another drive safely?

 

I wouldn't run the engine very long with the stock tune and 42# injectors.

 

yea. Im about to head out there and install my computer for that car and change a few things like CI and injector flow rate, and some EGR and AIR stuff since I deleted them both.

But. I did find another coolant leak, in the waterpump itself. I noticed the bearing was kinda loose then I installed it. I shruged it off becuase I planed on gettin an electric water pump soon. but now im kickin my self for it. I wish I did it right away. Now I got to work on the motor when its in the car. Water pump should be to to bad.

I bought a little CARputer for the camaro:



I will run tunercat, and a scanner program. It also has wireless internet, bluetooth, and a GPS reciever. I use a program call Centrafuse with my 7" touch screen monitor for movies and music and navigation and stuff, its made with big buttons and text for a touch screen in a car:




Thinking about here for the montor, need to see how it works with the shifter:

 

Nother video with exhaust installed.

 

Sounds good!

 

thank you. Im happy with it. I also have a SLP loudmouth.. but I already get evil looks driving threw my comunity with the flowmaster catback on. lol

 

Man, that sounds amazing. Great job!

 

thank you. Lets just hope its bite is as mean as its bark!

 

I made a slideshow of the build and the startup video. let me know what you think:

 

Damn dude nice work sounds sick!

 

do you mean the car, or the music in the video.

I dont know how I feel about the music in the video.. its ok, but its gets very repetative and long.. any other recomendation on the audio?
