Man I'm excited. Dailydriver posted his car for sale and I could tell from that add that it was much loved and well taken care of. Unfortunately a nasty knock on the engine forced him to sell it. I thought this could be the perfect car for my dad.
This car looks amazing for having 172k miles. It is pretty rare to find a 1 owner car these days. So, first things first. I had the car for all of 30 seconds before I broke it. I dragged the exhaust pulling into my driveway and separated the car back from the y pipe. So today I fixed that so the exhaust wasn't dragging on the ground anymore. Next, I need to make room for all the parts Dave packed into the car. It's completely full of parts. Thanks Dave! And finally, I need to figure out what's up with the engine. It has a nasty knock. It has great oil pressure, runs smooth, no smoke, but knocks really bad. I think it's a lifter, but I don't know. I think I'm going to pull the valve covers and see what I find. As well as this car has been taken care of, I'm hoping the engine is healty. I'd love to just replace some lifters and let my dad enjoy this car for a while. Anyway, let me know what you guys would do to diagnose this knock. https://youtu.be/AJUsOvgpnmg https://youtu.be/otobYePJLyo |

That Vindicator cam has 18* of overlap @ .050" lift, Papa wouldn't care for that (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Unfortunately, you don't ever know what you're getting into until you inspect it. I got a used LS1 shortblock years ago from PA with Wiseco slugs in it for $1000 which lasted me for a few years, you might be able to haggle him down if it has 100K miles on the stock rotating assembly. I don't have any personal experience, but I've read concerns in the past about high volume oil pumps pumping oil out of the pan faster... might want to look into that. I've always replaced parts which are relatively inexpensive during builds, and that includes oil pump, pickup tube, etc.

I would change that big cam to the Texas Speed cam I mentioned earlier. I'd sell the vindicator cam

I'm sticking with the block I have. It'd be too much work and risk to get another used block. If that block had the cam I wanted, then that might be worth it.
Anyway, I picked out a set of wheels for my dad. I know, not very original. http://www.forgestar.com/wheels/collection...ock-series/f14/ 18x11's with 315/30/18's. Think it'll be too wide for the street? Remember it won't be a daily. |

Whether they'll be too wide for the street is subjective. I run 17x11 315/35/17 NT05's in my daily driver the last few years, but I'm in Florida and where I drive the pavement is in pretty good shape.

Damnit truck....I didn't need this right now.
(IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/Steve91T/Camaro/3E6FE74D-A013-4E84-BC4B-01F8D76805F8.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/Steve91T/Camaro/C76A1806-2BE0-47CC-A416-F9CEB4B6B816.jpg) (IMG:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v199/Steve91T/Camaro/CC986666-ED68-42EF-9DEE-B7BD08FB4FAE.jpg) See that out of place quarter looking thing? Well it broke loose and was bouncing around in the bell housing and would randomly jam itself somewhere causing the clutch to not disengage. I baby my clutche. This South Bend clutch should have lasted me....forever. Anyway, I found a great shop that's giving me a 24 hr turn around and a LUK clutch and flywheel. I just kindly need to give them about $1300 in return. |

I just got off the phone with South Bend. They saw the pictures and said that I'm like the 5 person to ever have a spring rivet fail. So because it was nothing I did wrong, they are sending me a new clutch. I looked it up, I bought this clutch 7 years ago, but only put about 35k miles ago...and they are still sending me a new clutch. That's pretty awesome.

And that pressure plate looks about new. I don't see any real signs of wear on it, or is that just a trick due to the angle of the photo? |

Having granny gear really helps. Even when pulling my car or boat, starting off in granny requires no gas, just let the clutch out and it'll engage. So I never slip it. That's why I was so upset that the clutch broke. The way I drive the truck, it honestly should last me 200k miles. |
