OIC, a lesser known bar. Haha. Well be sure to junk them 4 hours after you get it certified ;)

For your amusement. Stock header (top) versus FRPP.

WOW! those things do suck. Engine looks good though Ron!

My head gasket arrived today so I went this afternoon also picked up some ARP head bolts from GTR High Performance. Tonight I installed the heads, pushrods and rockers and set the preload on the lifters. I also installed the lower intake which I painted black and the camshaft position sensor. Pictures from tonight. Sorry that they are so dark. I'll get some better ones tomorrow.

I'll walk over to my machinest and ask him about the bolts and what not, they probably took them off as a precaution

Thanks. I didn't know if you maybe took them off before you hot tanked it or if they did.

Here are more pictures.

That thing looks sweet. I know where I am going when my truck needs a rebuild.

Oh but if you do it here we'll have the fun times of taking it in and out a few times, :lmfao:

Thanks. I took a page out of the Shaolin Crane book of engine colors.
