Cleaning Pistons, Installing Main & Cam Bearings on an LS1, 1992 Chevy C1500 LS/T56 Swap.
When I bought my LS and tore it down, it was obvious the engine had been rebuilt. It was rebuilt well but it wasn’t maintained well. Everything needed a good wash including the pistons. The pistons are in good condition but need to be cleaned. I cleaned them by hand then placed them in a sonic cleaner, then placed them in boiling engine oil. Clean and well lubricated, they are ready to go back into the engine, but I need to build up the engine so it is ready to accept the pistons. Everything still rotates as it should. I do everything my own way including cleaning and building this engine.

My 799 LS heads didn’t originally come on this engine, so there has been previous work done on them. The heads are in pretty good condition, but they are pretty dirty. I disassembled them in preparation to clean. Once they were taken all apart, I decided that I should try my hand at porting them, I just gasket matched them to the headers and the intake.

    Hi, i had so much trouble with rebuilt engines turning rod bearings burning off cam lines and blowing head gaskets that I gave up on rebuilders and sourced my engines from salvage yards. I would ask for a wrecked vehicle that looked well maintained and after a test try I'd put on my own heads & induction system including camshaft & aftermarket peripherals like Hooker Race Headers etc. I never had another failure. I did have a lot of fun including full-out racing. It wasn't that hard to find a good factory original engine with good life left in it and it was much quicker than building one. ben/ michigan

      @@crescenthammer I know the Gen 3 does not have them, but he has already purchased the bracket that uses the cam retainer bolts to secure the bracket, and the bracket HAS THE HOLES ALREADY THERE AND THREADED that he needs.. There is nothing else to drill and tap when using that bracket.... That's why I'm wondering what it is he is trying to drill and tap? I've added the chain dampener to a BUNCH of Gen 3's and have never, ever, had to drill and tap anything for it to work... That's why I asked up above WHAT IS HE DRILLING AND TAPPING???????

      Intake and exhaust upgrades are the first & best upgrades I believe.

    Those clamps were definitely made by the devil. I'd like to meet the s. o. b. Who designed them. When they flip around on you so you can no longer squeeze them it really sucks.
