Finally, after about 6 weeks of my Camaro Z28 sitting there with a blown head gasket, i finally get 2 days off in a row to take it apart and change it....today being the first day...
now, we all know that the LT1 motor is typically a pain in the ass to work on...tight spaces, about 1/3 of the motor is underneath the cowl, so it makes it even harder to get your grubby hands in there...but i managed to get my fat hands in there and do what needed to be done.
so far, i got the intake, fuel rails, wiring harnesses, alternator, valve cover gaskets and the pushrods out...whats left is the removal of the exhaust manifolds, and the heads themselves, cleaning, and then of course replacement. what i thought was gonna be a 2 day job...im now projecting 4 days of total work, unless i get a day where its not fucking 90 degrees and more humid than a hot tub then i can probably do it all non-stop.
low and behold, the ultimate surprize...what i found when i pulled off the valve cover gaskets...well, the pics can do the talking from here...i would have to say that it looks like thata shmegma that babies puke up after they are burped, or chunky cumshots mixed with cheese.
sorry about the blur...this camera sucks, im just borrowing it for this
