Here's the update. I started everything Friday evening and this is where I'm at.
Pulled off heads and found that valves are perfect. Dropping off the heads tomorrow to get resurfaced. Installing the new LSX lifters and hardened pushrods once I get the heads back. Brand new gaskets all the way around. Cam looked perfect with absolutely no scoring on the lobes. The lifters responsible for the lifter squeal or four cylinder 8. They had very minimal pitting and it looks like they were no longer connected to the trays. Already chased the threads for all of the head mounting bolts. Cleaned off The mating surface on the block and ready to go. Cleaned off the tops of the Pistons as well. Got my arp head bolt kit ready to go as well. Any recommendation on short tube headers? I'm putting everything back together this coming weekend and I wanted to replace the headers while I'm in there.
