Something just came to mind.. could a clogged pickup be the suspect to my valve train noise and if so how hard would it be to clean or replace? I've read that a clogged oil pickup happens after oil changes sometimes and it can cause valve train and lifter noise to the motor.

Lmfaoooo , I think if you buy one of the hulking pieces of metal you deserve what every you want related to them. What do you need to deserve the tattoo and I have plenty of money for Buick parts.... but as the saying goes " Even thought I can do it should I really do it? Its hard not to blow all my cash on this car, trust me I've had my planes and almost bought a but load of parts. But I think it will be better to do it over the span of a few years. 
Once I finish the Resto do I deserve it or are you still more qualified for the tattoo?

What would be the best way to restore bezels? Primer then black paint? Because it seems that just hitting it with black doesn't work as well as I thought it would. What about plasti dip?

Here's a picture of my Sons' "Power 6"        tattoo.


He bought the GN when he was 19. Fell in love with these cars....had to have this done on his left shoulder blade.
Now he's sold the car to me & moved on, however still has a love for these cars.

Even if you sell the car its still a awesome tattoo wow that's exactly what I want but on my arm just under my shoulder about that size. where did he get that done?

you don't have to replace anything, just the injectors and re flash the chip

That's what I was planning on doing good sir and I understand what you mean Steve and I've taken advice from you guys and used it in multiple times.. to be honest i'm proud to how the car is now from when I first got it. Its running very nice and I thank you guys for that. I've just taken my time and worked at it. Yes I've ranted before but hey I need to let my smoke stacks vent somewhere

Well if you think its fine the way it is then don't go and bi anything and just leave it alone.Steve trying to sort out your car and now you say its fine, what is it then?

No I didn't mean that but I don't know what else needs replacing besides the injectors I've looked over a lot of things but I'm still a major rookie so its hard for me to just replace things myself.

I've never really thought much about tattoos but I think I want a Power 6 emblem on my left arm. I still don't know if I'm going to do it for sure has anyone else got one ? I've thought about a meaningful tattoo for a while and nothing struck my but I could see loving this tattoo for as long as I live.

Just buy a good pump and a PnP hotwire kit from Jack at Racetronix, cheap insurance and peace of mind will follow.

Yes exactly, right now there is a hotwire kit but I'd rather have peace of mind knowing its done properly and is brand new. That's how I feel about the motor as well but haha that's quite a bit of cash just for peace of mind when it is most likely fine how it is

Yes, I've already changed the plugs, cleaned the intercooler and almost all other spring cleaning items, New cat , fuel filter , I've rewired and got better grounds for everything. The only thing I didn't touch was the hotwire and injectors because I believed the owner had them setup.
I might get a new coil pack down the road from Highway stars the updated one just to be sure but I'm on the fence as mine seems to work good. As for the crank sensor and cam sensor I don't know to much about that but the car seems to start and run fine?

The 60 lb/hr injectors are about as perfect as you can get

Yea time for a upgrade... cant wait to see how she goes after I get that new chip and injector combo !

That's the plan my man ! I'm going to order from Turbo Tweak some 60lb injectors with a matching chip. http://www.turbotweakstore.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=1016
I'm guessing the link I provided is the most popular choice amongst the turbo Buick guys now? I also plan to get a new Fuel pump as well as a brand new hotwire kit .. I want to pull all the old shit out and make sure its done right.. I don't trust the old wiring. Could you link me or send me in the right direction as far as fuel pumps go?

If you have time, go double check a couple of injector numbers again to see if 621038 is correct....the 8 looks wrong to me from the lists I can find, but there are a jillion injectors out there.  It sounds right, I just cannot find it

 
Sorry some built up dirt made the last digit look like a 8  the real number is [ 621030]

Dan told me how the oil pressure on his fresh stage two motor is and my car is about the same hot idle the oil pressure is about 10-15 psi and at cruising speed depending on rpm it goes from 30-40 psi. As for the injector chip combo I just believed that the last owner was smart enough to match the chip to the injectors. I'm glad the engine is fine but I must have OCD or some real bad case of a love for my Buick I hate that little thud thud thud the car makes but if the engines good to go I'll just stop worrying.
To a new owner its pretty easy to get paranoid from time to time.
 
Thanks for the help Dan          Also the chip is a Turbo Tweak but who knows what its for... its a 5.7TT
