On the oil pump pick up I cut the spot weld on the tab, spun it around and used the other hole in the pump. But I had to drop the pan to get it off and I have a 4x4 .
Great info! I think I’m gonna have to do this to my Avalanche soon. On start up, you can hear some noise that goes away after a while. By far one of the dumbest creations GM has done. Great work man!!!
on that particular timing chain i would recommend changing it due ti the face the i believe is a bit looser so the tensioner style can keep it tight. a basic ls2 chain it a bit tighter or even an older non dod motor
Nice work on the 5.3. I have a couple lifters on my 2001 Chevy 1500 LS 5.3 with 218k on her. Did a frame off restoration and it’s time for some engine upgrades. Not like the old days when you didn’t have to pull the heads to replace lifters. Lol! Great job.
this is really good video but just like to tell you that whenever you install rocker arms and push rods, the rocker arm tip on both side should be oiled or greased and push rod should be oil or greased never install dry.
On those style torque wrenches, you want to make sure the plastic handle isn’t touching the bar itself when you are using it. That’s why the handle pivots in the middle.
Great video dude step by step on everything, after watching it now I’m excited to do it , I have a collapse lifter on the passenger side should I get a a kit and did what you did replace everything including the cam too ?
The exhaust manifold is in the way and can't access the head bolts behind it. Is there something I should do to drop it down so that I can get the clearance to get to the bolts?
Its such a pleasure to see this man work. He is so clean and methodical. Quick question sir, where did you learn how to wrench? (self taught? Military? OTJ? Tech school? Your pops?)
Many thanks!🙏🏼 For the most part, everything I know has been self taught. My father passed when I was 13 yrs old, and a good memory I have of him was helping him work on his Ford LTD. I cleaned the carburetor and helped put it back. after hearing that thing start right up, it put a smile on both our faces. I remember him being proud of what we did together, and since then I continued wanting to impress him.
Aye bro do you have to check clearance on heads when u get machine shop heads done and cam stage three springs lifters done to 5.3 Chevy Silverado 02 ?? I need help bad
i justy installed a new timing chain and when I torque it down to spec the crankshaft does not move at all and the chain doesn't move, I also have the stock sprocket, any ideas? I have a 2002 6.0 lq4.
Hello just watched you video…looking do to a vvt delete and stage 2 cam upgrade on a 2007 Escalade 6.2 …is it similar to the 5.3? I am mechanically inclined so I could be done in my garage right?
I'm thinking on ls upgrading my 03 tahoe I've never changed a camshaft but I am mechanically inclined......is it fairly easy for someone that's never done a cam swap
Personally inwoukd have just pulled the engine seems like a lot less work honestly and risk on not dropping something somewhere it shouldn't plus the ease of working on the engine
Really good video ... appreciate any feedback, about to do the same to my 13 Silverado Did you replace the oil pan gasket? Or no need? Did you loctite the sprocket bolts, harmonic balancer bolt, or head bolts? Or no need?
When I did this to my Tahoe, I loosened all the oil pan bolts and it dropped about an inch. That was enough to remove the bolt to the pickup tube, but when everything was all back together. I ended up with a leak from the oil pan. Later, I replaced the pan gasket and found that if I had removed the cross member under the oil pan, it would have made my job a lot easier. It 4 bolts. So I recommend that! You might need to remove a line that goes to the power steering rack to remove the pan. You'll know which one. Yes, loctite is a must. Whatever help you need just ask. I'll try to guide you. Might make some private videos and send you the link.. you got this! 👍
I left the plug for the solenoids disconnected. I did get a few codes, but mainly cyl 1,4,6 &8 were disabled (because of the DOD delete). Took it to disable the afm, and a tune for the new cam.. and she's running good.
They have a bearing on the rockers that sit on a trunion guide, and they all go tightened at the same 22 ft lbs. You can rotate the crank 180° and double check to confirm.
