So a little update, last night we obviously got the motor removed fairly easy. We came to conclusion that the guides on the timing chain were ****ed but still I decided to continue with the swap.
We go the motor out realized the tap I had for the intake wasn't the right size. So to make it easier im just going to swap out the Xover from the NPI intake to my PI intake since it's bolted to the intake.
We had to swap out the valves covers because being an 03 motor it had Romeo heads and the passenger valve cover had an electronic pcv sensor. So went ahead and swapped out the valve covers. Got everything cleaned up and ready to rock and roll!
Now we are going to be putting the motor in and start hooking everything back up so should be fun!

So is your NPI motor OK? Should be able to get a few more bux for it.

Exactly Keith is gonna fix it, mod it a little then sell it and give me half the profit. After all the help he's done I have no problem with that

Chain tensioners are common to wear out on mod motors then the shavings pile up and oil pressure becomes a issue , you'll be happy with the pi swap
