Lq4 rering

[Mechanic421]

So slow right know so I thought time to rering my spare lq4. My engine in my truck now runs great just has 205000 and starting to leak pretty good. This engine has 175000 it ran well also when pulled but also leaked. So I disassembled it today and was very pleased! Mains look like new rods have some but very little wear but oil rings are frozen. This will be a very budget build. Thinking Vincie Torque cam ,single coil springs, under cut stainless valves, rering kit ,polish crank,stock chain,moly push rods , trunnions ,good lifters and some stuff that I forgot to mention like all the dam bolts I have to buy.

Ok so guys always take pictures and mark everything you can and do not throw away thing away. When all is running well you can throw old parts away.

Did not have time for assembly pics but just waiting for pushrods,trunnions,knock sensor and knock sensor harness. So everything is standard lq9 pistons ,ring gap spec out good. **** rods ,polished the crank and balanced. Vinci 554 cam,Vinci double valve spring kit and Vinci lifters .hexajust chain to degree cam .I ported a 235 mellings oil pump.Heads looked good so I lapped the valves and installed the seals Vinci sent in spring kit.Always replace mr barbell! I will update when we get it installed.

LQ4 ****, what more could a man want?

More money for more parts! Never enough like a addiction! I do have to shoot out to the wife she never complains about about the over kill.

She'd probably like it better if you'd shout it out.

Seriously, love the pics and the work!
