time to assemble the lb7!

Im fixin to pick up my lb7 from the machine shop, i wanted to post up what was done to make sure i havent forgotten anything.

01 Duramax:
.020 over bore
mahle coated performance cast pistons
carrillo rods
ARP Main studs
Arp head studs
PPE dampner
Balanced Bottom end
Keyed crank and cam
Hamilton Cam, pushrods, and valve springs
Ported heads
PPE manifolds and up-pipes
GT4202r
50% over Industrial Injectors
200% over cp3

And i think that is about it. IF yall can think of anything let me know, im fixin to assemble the motor

Fresh oil pump? LBZ water pump or welded LB7/LLY water pump?

Did you align hone the mains with the studs/pressure plate?

Did you have the crank checked for microcranking.

Which main bearings did you go with? standard or extra cleanrance?

microcranking?

im going to do an lb7 tig welded water pump and a new oil pump
i have standard clevite h-style bearings, i was planning on ample break in time

LOL oops, meant to type micro cracking. Sorry.

I would upgrade the injector hold downs to keep the cups in place. SoCal has them.

I have thread in Injector cups that a buddy had a machine shop make. Real nice piece's. he had a few sets made so it was cheaper.

Aren't you going with a automatic setup instead of the ZF6?
