Today at Ugly Truck, we're wrapping up the 5.3 LC9 engine rebuild and D.O.D. delete. If you missed Part 1, we took this motor out of a 2011 Chevy Silverado and tore it down to find out why it had low oil pressure, and to check the damage. Fortunately, it looked like the camshaft bearings are to blame, and the crankshaft can be polished. Now that we have all the parts back from the machine shop, we're ready to reassemble. We start by installing new main bearings and checking bearing clearance using Plastigage. Next, we install new piston rings, check ring gap, and bolt the connecting rods to the crank. We are keeping the variable valve timing VVT on this engine, but a new (non-d.o.d.) camshaft, lifters, and valley cover makes this DOD delete COMPLETE!

DOD Delete PARTS LIST:
Camshaft - 12689035 GM GENUINE
Lifters - 12499225 GM GENUINE

UTX, New to your channel. Thanks for tearing down and reassembling this 5.3 and showing your audience members/subscribers how to. I know a few helicopter maintenance-related tasks, not car engine/transmission-related things. I do recognize 'plastigage'. Cool how that stuff works. Looking into getting a 2015-2020 Chevy Express van (long wheel base) with the 6L90 transmission. Engine preference: 8th VIN digit 'G' is my driving force for the engine I want. L96, flex fuel, 6-liter, port-injection. No AFM/DOD, please. Watching and listening to you (and others) really deters me from an engine with DOD/AFM....and direct injection. No thanks. Port-injection only please!! Carbon build up on the intake valves is completely unnecessary. I am more than happy with 360 hp if I can avoid direct injection.

@UglyTruckExperience 7 месяцев назад

Hello PDX. You are correct. It would be wise to stay away from a LT for sure. I have a box van out back that has a L96 and a 6l90. It is a 2012 GEN 4. We have been wanting to do some GEN 4 content and plan to put it in our 74 K20. Much more complicated than the Gen 3 stuff but will be worth the work I am sure. Good luck in your search. Keep us posted. Jerry and Emily

The way you keep the Ford cam phasers from failing comma is regularly used either marvel mystery oil, a quart in the engine for about a week before you do an oil change. Or you can put a quart of transmission fluid in it. Which will do almost as good a job at cleaning but the transmission fluid will do a better job at keeping all the seals in great shape. Which is something you could do anyway you can always put a half a quart to a quart of transmission fluid and any engine and run it that way.

@UglyTruckExperience 10 месяцев назад

Once again what another great video, that block looks clean enough to eat off of it. When you checking the gap on your rings do you keep that set of rings for that cylinder?

Keep up the good work!

Thanks Gumby! On this engine, we reused the original VVT cam sprocket and installed a new Melling chain and crank sprocket, and new chain guides. This engine was low miles with very little wear on the chain and sprockets. If I had my choice, I would have replaced the VVT sprocket and bolt also, but they are expensive.

@@UglyTruckExperience @ does that rebuild requires new crank, pistons, and cam? I have a 5.3 lm7, with high mileage, to rebuild, but not sure if those parts arr require to replace them,👋

@UglyTruckExperience 2 года назад

It will depend on how it looks when you take it apart. We got lucky and were able to have the crank polished, and install new bearings. If you have it torn down that far, you might as well put new rings on the pistons and install a new cam when you put it back together. If it's high mileage, you'd definitely want to go with a new timing set and oil pump, too. Best of luck! 👍

The guy using oil for engine assembly lube or the guy that said max tolerance was .025, these are 0.3 so they're fine?

@3gunshooter60 2 года назад

My sources say .0025 to .003 is right on the money for bearing clearance, if your not building a race engine that is.

@UglyTruckExperience 2 года назад

This one was right on that outer limit which is to be suspected I guess for a polished crank. The high volume oil pump will take care of that. It ended up having great pressure thankfully. Thanks

@44hawk28 10 месяцев назад

I have taken apart 3 LS engines and every single one of them but one cylinder one of them had Point 030 gaps. Is it any wonder why they drink oil. You shouldn't have a gap whiter than .018-.022. Even that is wide for a normally aspirated engine.

No, but I do replace them if the engine had a low oil pressure issue.

@be6322 2 года назад

Subscribed! Wanted to know if you wanted to get rid of the VVT, would you have more problems to deal with? Is that one more thing that needs to get fixed on the computer? Etc?? Thanks 😀

@UglyTruckExperience 2 года назад

Thanks for subscribing. The VVT on these ls motors work really nicely I think. I don't have a problem with them so I leave it on there. The only downfall is the cost of that vvt sprocket. If I had wanted to remove it I would have had the programmer take it out of the ecm and would have bought a different gear set for it. It really is just a personal preference. Thanks Jerry

@@UglyTruckExperience thanks Jerry… I would like to rebuild an LC9 with the DOD delete and am trying to get ideas… I’m in southern alabama and trying to find a block to completely rebuild then put into my 09 Silverado. I appreciate your videos. If you know anybody in The Wiregrass area that has LS LC9 blocks I’m all ears. Thanks again!!

@carstars1181 Год назад

Thanks for the video. I think in part 1 you mentioned that the truck had some oil pressure issues. Did you determine that it was the cam bearings? Did you replace all the cam bearings? Can't the DOD engines lose oil pressure as a result of the gaskets failing in the valley cover? Just wondering what your final thoughts were on this.

@UglyTruckExperience Год назад

I have seen the valley cover bolts be loose and result in that valley gasket leaking. When I take the intake off I check for loose bolts right away. This engine would start up cold at around 40 lbs. pressure and gradually climb down to less than ten as it warmed up, which is a pretty good indication of bearings. Hard to see in the video but cam bearings we're worn pretty good. We put all new bearings in it, including rod and main and it's oil pressure returned to normal. Thanks Car Stars. Hope this helps. Jerry

@Johnny-jr2lq 15 дней назад

@@UglyTruckExperienceoh no my 2012 gmc Sierra has low oil pressure it doesn’t go down to 10 psi. But it will go down to about 22 24 after running for a while. I was told that these motors per GM can go that low and not worry about it. I also read that the oil pressure sending unit is a common problem with these motors. And replacing it can fix it my point is my motor only has 137k miles on it and to have a possible bearing issue in the lower half of the block is REALLY upsetting.

@correctednews1463 8 месяцев назад

You are out of spec on the mains. Spec MAX is .0025 You read off .003 Also out of spec on the rods. If you are going to use the crank without regrinding, do NOT have a shop polish the crank. Very, very minor defects can be touched up using strips of 600 grit wet/dry paper. If the scratches are too severe for a light touch up by hand, then cut the crank .010 or whatever it needs. When a machine shop grinds a crank, they leave a little extra on the journal to account for the polishing. Same with boring. If you cannot touch up the cylinders with a fine hone, then have the block bored.

@UglyTruckExperience 8 месяцев назад

@UglyTruckExperience Месяц назад

If.you have a dod engine that has not had any issues with the lifters yet, you could just have the dod deleted from the computer and it would be fine. If it has developed problems, the most economical thing to do is put a non dod cam and lifters in and block off the oil passages from the vlom. Jerry

any reason you never paint your engine blocks?

@UglyTruckExperience Год назад

In this video this is a LC9 which is a all aluminum block which would not be painted from the factory. Adding a coat of paint to a aluminum block kind of defeats the purpose. Aluminum is a great heat transfer when air is passed over it. Same reason aluminum radiators are not painted. When we send out cast iron blocks that are dipped and cleaned we paint them. Thanks
