My 340 build
So pretty eventful day, i got up and been wanting to go to turners auto wreckers in fresno so took a quick trip and i have to say it is massive. I will be going there for some parts i need but didnt see a lot of a body's for some reason but also didnt get to see it all since its so massive. So after we got back i started on the intake and one thing that im kinda of bummed about is i noticed a small spec of aluminum that was wedged in between valley pan and the lifter valley. I tried to grab it with forceps and a q tip but as i lifted it up it broke in half....the other part i have no idea where it landed so im kind of worried it dropped into the engine somewhere but i couldnt find it anywhere but it was only about 1/16 in length and aluminum so i guess ill hope it didnt fall in. It must have came from the heads somehow but i did clean everything so still unknown. Well after stressing for 2 hours looking for that i gave up. So i moved onto 2nd attempt of intake install so this time i took all of tour advice into consideration and bam! Installed and torqued to spec.
Hope that spec of aluminum didnt fall in engine somehow and if it did hopefully it will get caught in filter so well see i guess still been thinking about it...
