[ATTACH=full]39346[/ATTACH]Got the motor yanked and tore down to a shortblock this weekend. Me and Steven felt that the car may have had a vacuum leak during the tuning process but wasn’t able to find it. After removing the upper intake, which had one bolt finger tight, I found a missing bolt on the lower intake so thinking that, along with some worn rubber bits had a lot to do with the vacuum leaks. Hacked up the exhaust rather than trying to spend forever pulling it apart. The H-pipe was mangled up from being on the ground and had been repaired poorly in the past. It’s trash as the long tubes will need their own mid pipe so hacked them up to get them off. [ATTACH=full]39347[/ATTACH]No other real surprises pulling the motor other than the P/S cooler that was just jammed in the core support and zip tied to keep it from flopping about.
