Blew up my LS-T 2 months ago at the track. 180K miles on the engine, i was suprised it lasted a bit over a year. I guess it gave me the motivation to step up my game a bit and finish up my LS-Vtec build. So i sent out my b16 head and my spare LS block to the machine shop to get some work done. What should've been a quick turn around, turned out that the pistons i bought was going to be too small for the bore size of my spare motor. The cylinders were a bit tapered, so i needed to go .5mm over. So i had to sell my JE pistons and had the shop pick up my Wiseco's. Had the motor hot tanked, bore and honed, bottom end assembled and had the head hot tanked, install my blox valvetrain, plug up the oil supply hole, install new valve guides and seals.
So i went and picked up my motor last week and took some quick snaps.

UPDATE 3/8/07
Took out the motor last night. Pretty quick and no complications that I ran into. Need to clean up the engine bay though. Used some simple green and some brake cleaner, but it still doesn't look immaculate. Any ideas on what to use?
