Re: George...

Just got word from the machine shop and it is looking a little interesting. I was there when they took the engine out of the 00 Cadillac so I know where it came from and whoever owned this vehicle earlier did some creative work to get it down the road. For starters the block is early 90s, the heads area vortec but one is a 906 and the other is a 062, they used rtv sealant to close off the block mount fuel pump holes, the cam was installed wrong and it moved back and forth killing 2 lifters (that is where the compression issue came from), it has been bored .040 over already and the crank is already slightly undersized. The good news is that the mismatch heads are just fine together and everything looks real good with the exception of the cam and the 2 lifters, just a hone, rings, cam bearings and a cam that I was gonna swap out anyway.

What a roller coaster!
