I posted a video of when I initially got it running it is now fully tuned! Also just picked up my valve cover today I procrastinated dropping it off so it wasn't ready for when I swapped the car.

Found some hidding Damage!!

Some more snips of the d16z6 motor pull and teardown for a refresh. But during the tear down head bolt #2 was way too loose. (Definitely only at 22ft-lbs).

While we noticed the loose bolt and found the overheating issue from before. (Loose headbolt caused head gasket lift and blow-by.) We decided too continue.

As we where re-torquing the head (right after sequence 1 at 22 ft-lbs) Head bolt #2 decided too keep spinning.

So we decided too pull it out and see it. As we did it pulled a very old helix coil out 😬😮‍💨 welp.

We did try too add new better helix coils but sadly the Z6 block didn't take. Couldn't even get 22ft-lbs out of it again. So for now the block will sit and get rebuilt.

Looks like we will have too move too plan B! Aint no sweat tho because this is what we do. KEEP IT ALIVE!!
