I’m not going to bemoan ICT Billet’s choices to move away from the Skool app. I understand the need to focus time and resources with a for profit business. But I am legit sad of the loss of this burgeoning group. Is there any interest in continuing with a new-Skool forum with the current fellowship? Obviously we won’t have the same support but I’ve said ‘be the change you want to see’ so… Anyone? Bueller??

Had a GM perfomance (caddy race) lifter on the driver side start tapping at first cold start and then go quiet, only to come back between 2-3k rpm. Only 80 miles on fresh build. Removed them from the driver side, and open them all up and found nothing really, some had what looked like dirty oil trapped under the plunger, but the oil was clean in my engine. Only other thing was some strange machining mark inside the body on the bottom left one , pic attached

Well, ran the motor for about 3 hours and no issues. Today, I was turning onto a major street and some guy on a motorcycle came zipping through two lanes of traffic (lane-splitting) and I jumped on it. Pulled through second. Guy was a total douche, riding my ass. Car ends up making this horrible screaming as I let off the gas. Pull over and it looks like head gasket? I am running a 4-corner steam line kit. You can sort of see some vapor on the right rear of the engine. Oil is clean. Engine temps never rose but the car did have a bit of a stumble afterward. Let it cool for about 10 minutes and it was fine driving home. I do see that the coolant is down about an inch through those 3 hours of driving but I chalked it up to the system bleeding. How much and when should I see the steam line dumping into the radiator? Is it possible I installed the head gaskets wrong? And wouldn't I have seen this issue in the prior 3 hours of runtime? Also, drive belt jumped 2 ribs but I'm not sure if that was during this or prior, as I didn't look at the engine after my drive last night.

Hello Skool friends, after some serious debate we've decided to shutter this channel and invest the time into our other social media efforts. Good news though! Build of the month contests and prizes will persist via Instagram so keep an eye out for that. Also, we've doubled down on customer interaction on Youtube, FB, IG, and TikTok with a dedicated employee responding to questions on those platforms. So look for the same great community supporting LS and LT swaps on those channels! https://www.youtube.com/@ICTBillet https://www.instagram.com/ictbillet/ https://www.facebook.com/ICTBilletLLC/ https://www.tiktok.com/@ictbilletllc
