Not only that, but the man has refused to buy new bearings so we are using factory bearings, factory cam/lifters/pushrods/springs/valves/pistons/rods/crank/mains Basically I'm taking a new block and putting nitrous used factory parts in it BECAUSE thats what the customer wants. At least the "squeeks when walks" man (that means cheapskate) is gonna "splurge" for a gasket kit instead of saying "use the old ones" or "RTV please" Like I said, I'm just the assembler.

In essence, this is a factory motor with way too much nitrous on it.
Hey Hopper, friend of mine has this on a sign above his desk:

"It's not my place to run the train, the whistle I can't blow.... But let the dang thing jump the tracks, then see who catches hell!!"

Kind of reminded me of your perdicament on the LS whatever chebbie
