You want it to feel smooth, anything you can catch a finger nail on is bad.

His are probably smooth as glass having 200k on the block lol.

On engines that aren't oiling properly, there's a good chance you'll get a groove at the top of the cylinder that has to be bored out. But your engine is probably fine.

Re: 84 z28, l69 to 5.3

anyone out there make ls swap harnesses without me sending in two harnesses ? problem is i really don't feel confident tackling the job of wiring the swap by myself, i'd be willing to break budget for something i could just plug and play, cant really send in both harnesses in as the silverado one is in pieces and the camaro one is necessary for the car to drive everyday
