The 5.3L has had better days, blow by is getting worse and the smoke is getting excessive.

It is amazing that it is possible to have awesome content on social media without bad language, false tension, disrespectful interactions, etc. You folks are awesome, thank you for sharing with this automotive and aircraft enthusiast.

@Cantsaydog Месяц назад

You know it amazes me how people make bad comments to all you folks out there in Utah but they still watch you and complain be thankful these people are good people no swearing no smoking no drinking they all get along leave them alone if you don’t like it don’t watch if you can’t say something good about people don’t say it at all they’re actually working what are you doing setting back and complaining

@jefferyyoung6836 Месяц назад

After the borescope we now know that the iron on the magnetic drain plug was from the rust in that cylinder.

@chipprice1174 Месяц назад

Chad, I pretty much know small blocks, but have ZERO experience with an LS. I'd love for you to do a step by step, in detail, on what you do to bring this"new" block back to life! I think it would make an awesome video with many views, and I'd hope, a lot more subscribers! And, label them part one two three and so on.

Welcome to racing.. :) If you're going to drive it like a race car, you better be prepared to rebuild it every event.

@dalegereaux1863 Месяц назад

I guess it's not a problem since you've got another motor to replace the one that's a little worn out. Just more content for another great video, right ? 👍

@cordybrassfield4844 Месяц назад

I’ve always wanted to build something like this. I wanted to do an f100 and I was hanging onto a 351 Cleveland motor to power it but the years went by and my daughter was born and I realized that motor had sat for 5 years and I never even cracked a bolt on it so I sold it. Oh well maybe someday

@daviddill4314 Месяц назад

I learned something new today. I have never had the chance to work on a steering box. I'm 71. You ROCK! Teacher at work. Lesson plan on the way.

@donanything6816 Месяц назад

A great learning experience, yes, your positive attitude is exactly that. Thank you for it.

@moparman1962 29 дней назад

It was a matter of time for the not-new, definitely-used, been-stored LS engine Chad and Paul and crew put in Gonzo in the beginning. It's cool that Chad is already on it building a better 6.0 liter LS that will make considerably more torque and horsepower. Gonzo will be more fun-time, party-mode capable and we'll get to see him put the power down. ;)

@robertr4193 Месяц назад

Too bad about the motor being so warn out in Gonzo but it was fun while it lasted and sense you are building a different motor it should live again. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

@PatientXero607 Месяц назад

That LQ4 was probably worn out long before it ended up in Gonzo. Happens when you choose a 150+K mile engine for a build.

@chadsfab 28 дней назад

It was just a worn out 5.3l from Paul's FJ. It has been a ton of fun, but it's time for it to come out get rebuilt and live on in Kenner's truck.

@bradleymadosh911 Месяц назад

Get a 6.0 for it and put a cam and better valve springs in it

@chadsfab 28 дней назад

Exactly what's going to happen! Look for it soon.

@michaeltablet8577 25 дней назад

Can't wait to see this build! I know I say this often but I love this channel! Wonderful people making awesome videos! God bless you and your family!

@kenmurray4232 Месяц назад

Too bad about Gonzo's engine. You saved from catastrophic failure so it's a good core. Cars & trucks are just like boats. Bust Out Another Thousand. Fully knowing this I still love to work on them. Thanks for sharing

@johnperun232 Месяц назад

Thanx for sharing your experience 👍 Have a Great Day 👍

@Kristof-Kay Месяц назад

the pull on Gonzo is next level, no wonder you were saying dont care, i`ll do an autopsy when it dies 🤣 great video as always Chad, thanks for sharing

@MichaelMaxim-ft5sv Месяц назад

If it's anything like the Griz its going to take Gonzo to a whole new level

@paulbrowning7186 Месяц назад

Time for build this engine with Chads Fab , that’ll be a great series, you was looking for something different too.

@rickydonahue1586 Месяц назад

I was just thinking why doesn't he just run it until there's a window on the side of the motor? Then you made a good point on the amount of oil under the hood. It would be a shame to burn it down! Love hugs and prayers from Waco Texas.😁

@steveclark4291 Месяц назад

Thank you Chad and crew for the update on Gonzo !

@garyonnen7634 Месяц назад

You’ll just end up spending more on tires anyway, it will be good fun. Thanks.

Classic Chad, he's tipped off balance for a moment; "I don't want to know", but in a flash he's back to pragmatic Chad: "We'll do an autopsy".

How about a nice 283 ci sbc with a 2 bbl ? Built to be pretty and get the best possible MPG. From a 78 yr old who started drag racing in San Diego in 1964 and has become an old Fudd in Paragonah with horses and a fly rod. Love your channel and family way !

Try pulling the snap ring then plug or cap return crank engine the pressure will push seal out and you can reinstall seal without disassembly of box.

@chadsfab I don't blame you, I'd kill to move back to North Western PA, and buy a piece of land, about to buy another house on long Island, what ya going to do, it's the burbs and my family is here, otherwise, I'd be out! But TG for having a place to live and having my motorcycle and my Tacoma S.A.Swap, gotta be happy for what we do have, oh yeah and my friends and family 😆

@timdunmyer4549 Месяц назад

I guess since it's time to pull the motor, maybe while it's out it's time to clean up and paint the engine compartment?

@kodonosaki9273 25 дней назад

Since the early '80s, I've used only 100% synthetic engine oil, from a manufacturer, that had at that time, publicly documented, the very significant reduction in engine wear, that their full synthetic, Mobil 1, did provide for a, well built/factory new, engine used in a street driven vehicle. Today, there are more brands of full synthetic engine oil that can be trusted. With your desire to spin Gonzo's turbo hard, any new engine for Gonzo, that is not a dedicated build with known suitable parts, may fail early, regardless of which brand of full synthetic oil, lubes it.

@motardmike Месяц назад

Howd Kaden's paint/body turn out any chance of a peek?

@chadsfab 28 дней назад

I kind of showed it in the last video. We will be showing more as it gets assembled.

@Crewsy Месяц назад

The new rebuild will max out the turbo unlike now where the turbo maxed out the engine. The turbo definitely shortened the short life it already was going to have increasing the blow by so it blows bubbles now.

@timidater4803 Месяц назад

When you turbo a junkyard motor you are on borrowed time!

@steveclark4291 Месяц назад

I have read all of the comments the good and the bad ones ! To those that thinks new engines are better than ones out of a junkyard ! How much do think a new engine costs compared to a junkyard ? Let's just a vehicle has been wrecked beyond repair body wise but the engine area is good and the engine run great ! Would you rather spend $1000.00's on a new engine for a old beat up vehicle or get the engine from the wrecked vehicle for less money probably a lot less ?
