Yes thank you nice write up this will help. Your engine does look very clean for just 60K miles. Did your oil galley gaskets begin leaking at 60K miles? Was anything else found leaking? How did your timing chain look?

i started noticing lower oil pressure readings in the fall (58K), so replaced the gaskets and fasteners over winter. a few fasteners backed out on the upper galley causing oil to leak out of the galley. Today the chains looked good, no kinks or abnormal color due to heat, should have plenty of life left before they need to be replaced.

Should be ready to fire up tomorrow, just need to install the blower and a few accessories.

I'm just hoping i don't have bent valves, a leak down/compression test will tell me tomorrow.

Yes a compression check will tell you everything. I hope you didn’t bend any valves either or look forward to a rebuild. How much whp and wtq are you currently making?

Currently at 400whp and 340trq, i upgraded to the gtm 1.5 kit over winter so i should be closer to 500whp if everything turns out well motor wise.
