So I FINALLY got around to starting to tear all my stuff off after I said I was going to two weeks ago. Stupid real life stuff and Luke's.
Swapping out my LS6(243 cast) heads and LS2 intake for LS3(823 cast) heads, LS3 intake, and 42# injectors.
Battery and Vararam intake taken off
Coilpacks, throttle body, and strut tower brace taken off
Driver side rocker cover
Passenger side rocker cover
Intake Manifold off
Intake runners taped off and valley cover and heads cleaned up
Table of stuff removed(also under it) (Also no Jeremy, that is not shit all over my Jeep)
Cracked the head off and coolant poured EVERYWHERE and some left in chambers
I was surprised at how clean the heads were. This is the passenger head but the driver head looks identical. Not bad for 84,400 miles.
Coolant cleaned off and not too much carbon build up.
Gasket residue and carbon all cleaned off.
Driver side bank. Again, not too bad carbon build up.
Gasket residue and carbon removed, all clean.
Pulled the valley cover off to clean the edges off
These all shocked me. These are the eight passenger side lifters and they all looked damn near BRAND NEW. The driver side were identical. It just amazed me how clean the rollers were.
