My dad retired from GM and is gone now and i would give anything if i had listened and payed more attention and stored the wealth of knowledge he shared with me but i was young and dumb at the time. I do remember a bit of how they determined the viscosity and hydrodynamic oil film per engine application by measuring the resistance through the oil film somehow, it was many yrs ago and there was more to it than i can remember. To bad we dont have a way to store the knowledge that passes with them.

@stevenbelue5496 4 месяца назад

Also wanted to say ive re-used the cam plates and from my experience theres not enough of an enternal leak to notice a difference in oil pressure. I had a buddy was dodge guy and i think it was the LA engines that had a plate that covered the oil galley plugs and if he didnt have plugs he was just throw the plate on. If you think about all the internal places in engines that can leak it doesnt seam that important, the LS oil pump itself probably leaks a good amount where it meshes with the crank, the bearing and lifters clearances and the passage around the disributor on a sbc, thinking about all that im just not to worried about that cam plate, but if you can improve it why not but i ususally dont wait on one if i dont have one on hand.

Hey Steven. Sounds like you had a great dad. The people that did that engineering years ago we're crazy smart. They didn't have this computer sitting in front of them to give them all that info. They figured it out on their own. We appreciate you watching and commenting. Jerry and Emily

@hardball107 4 месяца назад

Luv you guys', all very good info. I've built many LS's over the years, even if they were junkyard engines there are a few things that I would address just as cheap insurance. Upgrade rocker trunnions', most times a new set of LS6 valve springs and seals, new timing set and a new oil pump and O ring. I never have shimmed the gearotor set when installing a pump and never had a failure. I do have a set of the plastic seal spacers that I use when installing the end covers and I always use a Trick Flow timing chain damper kit, just seems to be a lot of slop even in a new LS timing chain. Great explanation of setting up the covers with the engine upright. I always do it but never put 2 and 2 together on the crank deflection. Thanks.

@UglyTruckExperience 4 месяца назад

Hey Ken. Thanks for watching. I'm going to give the timing chain damper a try on the next one that we do for ourselves. Keep your comments coming. We always enjoy them. Jerry

@enginerd1776 4 месяца назад

My understanding of shimming an LS oil pump was the bypass valve internal to the pump- to increase the max oil pressure.

@UglyTruckExperience 4 месяца назад

Hello Enginerd. That is what I think when people mention shimming the pump also, which does work. Most of our comments and questions are asking about the centering of it but refer to it as shimming it. Words.. Thanks for watching. We appreciate it. Jerry and Emily

@bigjohn1948 49 минут назад

On your front cover and back cover you have the weight of the cover pressing on your seal and you crank is at the bottom of the bearing so your seal is not center of the crank. best to buy the tools, their not that expensive. the rest sound good.

Love the content, answered questions I’ve had floating around in my head. Would love to hear your thoughts on a poor man’s lq9 by putting 862/706 heads on an lq4?

@shadowopsairman1583 4 месяца назад

It increases compression and torque some but to go further put true flat tops in

@UglyTruckExperience 4 месяца назад

I think the 862 and the 706 are smaller valve heads. They do flow great even though and I have just gone with the 317's so I didn't have to deal with anything but the stock tune. I would love to try it though. Let us know if you end up doing it and how it works out. Jerry and Emily

@dfre6422 2 месяца назад

243 and 799 are the best small valve heads from the factory. Don't waste your time and money on the others if you look for small valve heads.

@UglyTruckExperience День назад

Hello. That pump will pull some more volume but as long as its not low on oil it would not be an issue. You would have to run it at a very high rpm for a good amount of time to cause any issues. Thanks for watching. Jerry and Emily

Hello Kris. I use blue locktite on the flexplate bolts for sure. Some people use it on the camshaft sprocket bolts and that is fine also. The cam retainer plate bolts should be replaced with new that will have it it on them but would use it if not using new bolts for some reason. Thanks watching. Jerry and Emily

@marciogoncalves6689 Месяц назад

Hello, I really liked the video! I'm a Brazilian who loves American cars. I live here in Florida, near Orlando. I have a 2002 Pontiac Firebird 5.7, but the block has 2 holes and needs to be replaced. I was thinking about putting in a 6.0 block and whether it would be better to use the original 5.7 engine heads or what would be the best option. I also have no idea if the wiring harness and computer in my car should be replaced or if I can use the same one. Could you help me with this information, please?

@UglyTruckExperience Месяц назад

Hello Marcio, It would probably be easier to fin a 6.0 to put in that car. Both of them are excellent engines though. The wiring will be the same for the most part and the ECM would need to have a tune installed for the 6.0 and whatever you have for a transmission and drivetrain. It would not be to involved to go with the 6.0. Either way you go, keep either engine with its stock heads and it will be much less headache. Let us know what you end up doing. Thanks for watching.

With a double roller timing chain. Is it required to run a aftermarket timing chain COVER for clearance

@UglyTruckExperience 3 месяца назад

We haven't used a double roller, but from what I understand, you can grind the original cover for clearance. But it looks like you'll also need to shim everything else to line up correctly. Here's a thread I found on it. ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/1411506-double-roller-timing-chain-clearance-question.html Someone there may be able to answer your questions better than we can.

@notperfectgarage4595 3 месяца назад

When going from dished piston to flat top your reason to increase compression. * more power * lq4-lq9 then you said we are staying 317 so no changes in tune. Unless u are using a lq9 ecm. You'll need a tune anyway. . So why not do it right put a set of 243-799 be done.

@UglyTruckExperience 3 месяца назад

Hello NPG. The LQ9 with 317 heads is a stock tune. We send the computer out to the guy who does our computers. He will download a stock tune for a LQ9 and a 4L80 transmission and it will run perfectly without a custom tune. If we change the engine from a stock configuration, like adding more compression with different heads, a custom tune would be needed. I also need this truck to run on 87 octane regular fuel. Jerry

After I strip my 4.8L of the heads, pistons, crank, cam and oil pan, everything and I drop my engine off at the machine shop, what am I actually telling them to do to my block and crank? I kno I need them to inspect for cracks and warps but what else…, polish crank, clean… I dnt kno, I dnt wanna sound like I don’t kno what I’m doing, but I also wanna kno what to expect…. I’m going to reuse the same crank so that I don’t have to balance a new one and that just means that I need to crank balanced., but what exactly needs to get done to the block? I don’t think I’m going to bore it out any but I plan to turbo this engine and I’d like to know what I need to do to the engine block so that I can put it back together properly., piston, ring gap, and all

@UglyTruckExperience Месяц назад

Hello Jah. I hope you have a good machine shop that you can take that motor to and give you some good advice. I will drop off a motor and just tell them what I am hoping to do with it and take their advice on what needs to be done. I will usually stop and talk to them before I actually take them my parts just to see if they are helpful. I have to trust in their advice in order to have a good outcome and it is in their best interest to get the engine up and running with no problems. If you end up not boring the motor. Make sure each cylinder is measured and make sure they know your intending on a turbo. Hope that helps. Jerry
