I thought it was never going to end 🤣 love your content man!

@@VossGarage oh I’m still not done, I need a hot pressure washer. Year of oil leaks all under this think 🫣

nvm it's too late lmao

we want time lapses!

I’m fortunate to have a space to work on mine in the winter. I’m also ready for warm weather!!

If you skip to 7:20 in the video, you’ll see me use a bracket that utilizes the motor mount bolt holes! I recommend making something similar, and not mounting the engine from the back.

Yep i later learned that! That’s a good idea, i may have to steal that from you. Thanks for the tip!

Agreed! Sometimes the “boring” mods have the most satisfying outcomes.

It needed it!! Appreciate the support man 👊🏽

@@VossGarage Yessir!

Appreciate that man!

This car is setup for dig racing, so an auto makes more sense!

Thank you 👊🏽

I will cover that in my next engine video! Although whenever i looked at it last, i didn’t notice any wear differences between #6 and the rest. I’ve had this engine turned up for about 20k miles, a hard 20k lol. I agree, i think the bypass is good insurance to keep #6 happy. I’ve seen upwards of 15-1600 egts while partying!

@@VossGarage lol that’s getting warm! You might consider a cam upgrade. I did a Colt Big Stick 3 (which is not radical by any means, does not require valve reliefs). It didn’t add a ton of power, but it helped mileage by close to one MPG, cooled EGT maybe 50-100F, but the biggest unexpected result was notoceably smoother, quieter engine. Need to put a video together of that, too.

I really appreciate your suggestions man! I was anticipating having to replace this head so I didn’t follow the detorque procedure, although I regret not doing that now. You were 100% correct on that valve guide, it was way out of tolerance! They are putting just one new guide in my problematic valve, and resurfacing the head.

@ you bet! Really like your truck and have been enjoying the content, doing a great job. While you’re in there you might consider the Hamilton valve bridges. Yeah, another thing to spend $ on, but the theory is the stock ones tend to flex and possibly pushes on the valve stems laterally, contributing to wear, not sure if that’s true. But I upgraded mine when I put my 103 lb springs in from Colt Cams. I need to get off my duff and put together a video since I shot footage of that project.

@@VMac822 Thanks man!! That makes sense, I'll be ordering those bridges. Looks like you have a nice truck, you should definitely put a video together!

That’s right 😎👊🏽

I’m excited to work on the trans am!! I have some plans for it once it gets a little warmer… the garage that it’s in doesn’t have heat 🥶

@VossGarage sounds good.

Yes sir, 3.54s! 4.10s would be cool if it was a work/tow rig

@VossGarage I want to go 3.73. I'm at 2,000 rpm at 70 mph with my 6 speed and 4.10s

That’s awesome man, I bet that’s a cool rig! That doesn’t sound as complicated as I thought, thanks for the info 👊🏽

It’s been very reliable for me! I’ve been beating on it for years, so it was only a matter of time before i had to some maintenance on it.

Thanks man!! Can’t beat a fmvb!

That’s awesome! You can definitely daily drive a fmvb truck, however there are a few minor negatives. The shifter gets really hot/cold depending on the temp outside lol, it can be loud and clanky while shifting, fuel mileage won’t be as good, and it’s a learning curve to drive it in traffic. Since your truck is a daily, I’d highly consider just building the 68! They’ve come a long way and I wouldn’t hesitate to invest in one for a daily driver. Unless you’re a g56, then absolutely keep the g56 for a daily! I’d suggest a 48 swap if it was a high hp play toy that you beat on often. Hope this helps!

No the head gasket was leaking!

@VossGarage ohh

I had it pressure tested and decked at my local machine shop. I was not expecting this head to be reusable!!

I’d say you’re probably right. I didn’t want to invest much into this motor since the goal is to put a 6.7 in it one day. That’s why i didn’t do the top hat seals, because it requires machine work. Hopefully these seals will hold on long enough!

Yeah man, I scored it right before Covid! That’s awesome man, I will always have a soft spot for e46s. I’ll never sell this car, it’s such an awesome car to drive!

Yeah I do 🤣

It has a quadzilla with custom tunes by TJ Frey (1badvp44). Not sure what gives it the limiter so I would talk to him!

@@VossGaragethank you brotha

Also rebuild the vacuum pump while you’re there, they love to leak. I always replace the o rings every time I have one out

I had the machine shop pressure test the head and deck it! It is not o ringed, and I decided not to o ring it. I’ll also be sticking with arp2000s again since it’s just a single turbo. Thanks for all the tips though man!! I’m definitely rebuilding the vacuum pump, it’s long overdue.

Will do man! Yep I had my local machine shop pressure test and deck the head. Thankfully it was still good! Thanks for the tips!!

Yeah it’s nice! I’m grateful that I can use it, it’s my parent’s shop. My garage doesn’t have heat and it’s too small to work on the 2nd gen in

Thanks man!! Always loved the look of S71s

Dang man, what all was wrong with it?! Can’t see my buddy doing a poor install on anything, but things do happen in a rush… sorry to hear that!

They temporarily went down to the transmission area to atmosphere. They will be going to a catch can whenever i get the engine back in!

It only made 374hp, however my wideband sensor wasn’t reading accurately. I have a new sensor now so i need to get a revision. Hoping for 400! I’m a big fan of 4th gen’s in general, but i really like the uniqueness of the ws6! I like your z06, i hope i can own one someday!!

@ that’s solid! Still plenty of fun to be had in that car. I love the t tops too. Always wanted a car with them but unfortunately the Z didn’t come with them.

@ I’m subscribed following along to see the progress on the WS6.💪

It’s just a viral sound on tik tok

@@VossGarage I don’t have a TikTok but I already have a TikTok account but I can’t get back on my TikTok account

Thank you! Appreciate watching 👊🏽

They are 22x12 hostile Vulcans with 305/40 toyo proxes. The truck is lowered so they rub pretty bad, if you turn that far 🤣

@ -44 offset? I want to run 305/50r20s but don’t know what offset to get I only plan on lowering the back

@@cobysgarage3085yep -44 offset. I’d say they’ll probably rub at full lock if you’re stock height in the front

Thanks man!

Thanks man 👊🏽 it’s a really fun car!

I’m not a fan of the CETA rear bumper. I like the color match!

7.5 BS in the rear with 275/60/15s. The video description has more details too 👊🏽

🤣🤣

Yes just gotta learn how to drive it! The fmvb really helps stay on top of the turbo

@ nice bro love the build

Yep, dpc stock stall triple disc

Let’s go! Regular trans ams are sweet too. I hear ya, mine is in hibernation too 😤

Agreed, I didn’t care for the hostiles… I just sold them so I’ll be looking for some wheels next summer!
