6.2 swap thread

Cam shipping tomorrow. It's happening.gif

Will pickup the hoist this week and start doing the cleaning, oil pan gasket, and front/rear covers.

All the part are here, now just need to set a date within the next week or so and decide if I want to rent a cherry picker or buy the harbor freight one.

I'd buy if it was cheap enough. I'm guessing since you're gonna do this swap, I'll be seeing another swap in the future lol.

Doing this in a garage or shop? Any way to hang a chainfall hoist? I prefer these since I work alone and can operate the chain one-handed so I have a free hand to maneuver the engine.

I bought the harbor freight one a few years ago and it was great. If you do, get the leveling bar to go with it. Made it a one person operation for me. Ended up selling the whole thing for almost what I paid for it when I moved in June.

I am doing this in my driveway, my garage is too small for my Truck.

Ok good to know. I'm leaning towards buying because by the time I rent the hoist for a week and rent the trailer, the cost is almost the same. I was just concerned about storage, but it looks like it folds up decently well.

I've had the harbour freight hoist for a few years now and its totally worth it if you have the space to fold it and store it. I find myself using it for lots of other random stuff.

Also wait until there is a 20% off one item coupon.

Going to clean the cylinder heads tomorrow myself. Local shops wanted too much for a mill + cleaning ($300). I already have the thinner head gasket, so I'll just clean them up, put on new valve seals and springs, and bolt them on.

I just removed my Corsa Touring and went back to the stock muffler.

The Corsa sounds awesome at WOT but I don't need the attention on this vehicle.

@ls1frc
I was under the impression the corsa touring was quiet, is it not? did you get any drone?

 

[ivin74]

I was the one selling my Corsa Touring. I don't like deep/bassy exhaust. I like the stock type sound, that sounds choppy/throaty with headers on. Seems that is the difference between a straight through and chambered muffler.

Magnaflow makes a chambered muffler that's 24" long. I may pick it up and swap it in for the corsa muffler to see how it sounds since no one wants to buy my exhaust lol.

Really the headers to stock is perfect for me. If I could find a stock 3.5" version.

I had two of those on my Silverado SS and did not like the drone or the sound. They donot not sound like the oval magnaflow mufflers.
