lookin sweet man. was making me nervous not mentioning the side load bolts. ive never built an ls but ive seen a couple at the machine shops getting put together
Thanks Man here's the link for the tool let me know if it works. www.jbtools.com/lisle-28100-torque-angle-meter/?gclid=Cj0KCQiA88X_BRDUARIsACVMYD9kaWBWfb7VllRZbfKBIh3MRyjx6XlMLEMySW05I5tIzfyS3_JQ0e4aAo42EALw_wcB
Do you know what the main bearing clearance is for an LS2 crank is? All stock nothing special. Trying to look at the repair manual and I can't find it. Some say between .0001-.0003 not sure if that is correct.
It's a shame you left out checking your bearing clearances as well as setting the thrust bearing after the first sequence of tightening the inner bolts to 15ft lbs. These are both super important steps but hopefully newbies will consult multiple sources so they get all of the important information.
Yeah this deep in a engine everyone should be doing there own research anyways. Each engine is so different with different combo's so my clearances might not be spec for someone else's build or if they have iron block vs aluminum and so on. I also used plastic guage to spec mine which isn't always accurate. Didn't want to give any wrong info on something as important on clearances.
@@Brandon-LSX Understandable decision to leave it out and I applaud you for covering your own ass. However, for all LS engines being built for street cars regardless of iron or aluminum block the general rule for main bearing clearances is between .0015 and .002 when using plastigage. If it's not within those specs you should talk to a machine shop about having them precision measured and getting the correct clearances.
