Jetmech's Garage
It all started back in March of 2006. I bought my first NEW vehicle - a 2006 chevy silverado. About a year later, the modding began and I'm still not finished.

Around July of 2011, I finally finished building the 6.0L and it was ready to drop in. I ripped out the 4.8L (still ran great with 60K on the odometer) and the rear mounted garrett T-04 turbo, cleaned everything up, and stuffed in the 6.0L with a front mounted MP T-76.
The old 4.8L

I thought this was a clever way to check the valvetrain. I soaked the lifters in oil since they were brand new and are hydraulic roller lifters, then installed them. I slapped the heads on, painted the roller tip with a sharpie and rolled the engine over to see exactly where the roller tip would contact on the valve stem. Looked good to me!
