At the risk of "preaching to the choir", just want to say how impressed I am with ICT service. Every time I place an order, I get an email within a couple of hours that says my products have shipped. Thanks ICT crew and keep up the great work! -Rob

I posted this on a FB group but wanted to ask in here as well: Looking for some advice from those with more experience on a refresh/rebuild. I just picked up my LQ4 from the machine shop, and they had all the pistons removed from the block. They cleaned everything up, gapped the rings, honed the cylinders, but none of the pistons or rods were marked for cylinder location. My question is — how big of a deal is this? Can I reinstall the pistons in any cylinder as long as I keep the rod/piston orientation correct, or should they really go back into their original bores? I’ve heard mixed opinions on whether wear patterns matter enough to worry about. For context, this is more of a refresh than a full performance build, and everything looked to be in good shape. Appreciate any insight from those who’ve run into this before.

Looking for some input and real-world experience on cooling setups and mounting solutions for my OBS LS swap. Originally this was supposed to be a “budget build”… but as everyone else and know me knows that ship has sailed 😂. So now I’m just trying to make smart decisions without lighting any more money on fire. I’m planning to step up from the 28” to a 34” radiator—leaning toward a stock-style GMT400 HD or possibly a GMT800 setup with matching fans/shroud. Trying to figure out what actually works best vs. what just sounds good on paper. For trans cooling, I’ve already got a Tru-Cool 40k with braided lines and AN fittings on the way, so that part should be handled. A few things I’d appreciate some feedback on: - Best radiator/fan combo for the 34” swap (OEM vs aluminum) - Clean mounting solutions for the bigger radiator - Any gotchas going from 28” to 34” - OEM fans vs. After market. - Fuel system setup (line size, routing, hard line vs AN, regulator/filter setups, etc.) Goal is a solid, reliable setup that stays cool—without overspending again. Appreciate any advice.
