Meissen's LT1 Rebuild Thread

[Lucky SOB]

very very nice job brian! had me fooled. haha.

and yes it is possible to put the opti on wrong. we did it on kolin's old TA and it sounded like someone was playing the bongos. haha..

anyways im very happy for you and can't wait to hear it running like a champ. oh and your engine not trying to burn us from 5 feet away when you open the hood.

[meissen]

Oh it still will - it still stays really nice and warm like it did before.

[DETROITMUSCLE]

WOOT!!!! I hate keeping secrets anyways, can't wait to see and hear the car this weekend Brian, great job.

[meissen]

Thanks guys! I'm so excited! The biggest reason my dad made me promise not to post it up was that we weren't sure if we could get it all done in time. We didn't want to get everyone hyped up thinking it was going to be there and then something happen. With Steve having it right now for tuning I should definitely get it back in time.

Open Cutout - yes I know the RPMs went a little high... it was the first time I've taken the RPMs over 3000 and the engine builder said a few blips would be OK

I also slipped and said that the jack slipped off the kframe twice and then said "I mean on my dad's car..." I was hoping you didn't catch on too much.

hahaha i just went and looked at the conversation again, sure enough, then you started talkign about coolant issues trying to change the subject. I remember reading that as well and I was like now where the heck did that come, why would he be talking about a cherry picker and then jackstands! I just thought you were losing your mind a little bit.

[meissen]

Just wanted to see if you'd catch on.

Congrats Brian. I heard threw the grape vine this thing was running already but I wasn't sure to believe it or not :]

[MP81]

Glad to be of service, keeping that thing a secret. I was so happy for ya when I saw the video of it running once again!

Good work, and I can't wait to see it at the M&G.

I'm in line for a ride.
