C5 Corvette Z06 - Broken Piston
Просмотров 6342 года назад
Update on the C5 Corvette Z06. Back in September I broke the #7 piston! I ended up pulling the engine and sending it out for a full rebuild, plus I've been working on a bunch of other things while everything is "easy" to get to. This video summarizes what I've been working on and my theory as to why it failed. It turns out it is a somewhat common failure on LS engines. Other videos to check out...

Started 5th and finished 2nd in the Formula Vee Mid-Ohio Challenge Cup Saturday race.

    Dude, Great job on this task!.. How long did this job take from start to finish? Do you think this job would have been easier by removing the engine, vs dropping the drivetrain. I have a 2000 automatic, with either a rear main sealing leak and/or upper oil pan leak and I'm contemplating pulling the engine.

      I have a 2001 c5. I’m in the middle of replacing upper and lower oil pan gaskets, harmonic balancer and rear main - using an engine hoist to hold engine up and dropped subframe. It can be done without entirely removing subframe but my leaks are so bad I completely removed it so I can clean off all the oil - although I’ve never pulled an engine, this seems to me to be the easier way to do it.

    Can I ask how you hooked up the 7 pin connector? The factory 4 pin connector and a collision sensor (?) share the same 8 pin connector on my 2011. My pre-wired tow package has the brake controller plug where it should be, I just don’t have a way to connect the standard kit which is based off of the Frontier. Otherwise, thanks! This is the only video I’ve found that matches my Pathfinder 😂

    • @cqe5009
      @cqe5009 11 месяцев назад

      I plugged it in by the left rear wheel. The standard 4 pin connector plugs in there (up along the frame, climb under the fender and follow the 4 pin wires back from the bumper) and I bought the 7 pin one from a Nissan discount parts place. The bracket for the 7 pin connector I think came from a different Nissan model. If you search around on the pathfinder forum there are some threads about it. I don’t have a collision sensor or anything like that, so maybe you have a higher trim model. Mine is one of the lowest trim levels, maybe even the base model. Hope that helps

    Thanks for the video! It's very helpful to prepare/refresh. On suggestion: If you had supported the engine at its rear with a jack rather than a stand, you could have tilted it a little bit and the shaft would have come out easier. Now you put a lot of strain on the shaft when the transmission is lowered but the engine can't tilt.
