haha it will be all worth it in the end.....

Fun my ass that looks wayyy too much like work. Buy a lift.....

Hahahaha if only you saw how I have to work on my car pizza LOL

The lift is the cheap part id already have one if the garage was high enough for it. So this is my only way. At least i have a garage i guess haha

Know its not exactly ideal but you could get a low rise lift, I know Id prefer to have the car a couple feet off the ground then me on the ground on my back lol

Well here we go........Pulled the heads off the 105k 2004 denali lq4 and this looks like shit. and that oil in there is tranny fluid WTF??? Why? It has a 90 day warranty so i'll just bring it back and get another if this is shot. It spins freely no problem at all. But this looks like hell to me anyways....

Just talked to the guy at the yard and he said they add tranny fluid to the motors to keep it lubricated.........find that weird but hey whatever. Ive got a compression test they did on it getting faxed to me so at least thats alright. For a motor that would be fine to run as it sits it sure looks like ass!!!

looks like your doing all the gaskets and seals that touched that tranny fluid. it will swell them all up and cause leaks. Stupid on there part.

Yup i dont get what the deal was. IDIOTS but i was taking the whole thing apart anyways so i guess it doesnt matter. i'm getting more parts than i planned, cam springs pushrods, kartech bolts.......oh wait magna fuel pump filter, regulator, fast rails 160lb injectors this is getting expensive

you rebuilding the shortblock or running it as is?
