Hey guys! Thank yall for checking this how to out! If yall don’t feel confident enough after this video, message me on instagram @jackstandbuilds to get a quote on this job or any other LS/LT performance needs!
Bro made this shit look so quick & easy, i thought hey its a 47 minute video this should take me no more than 4-6 hours & here i am 10 hours in just getting the heads off, everything's been done the right way so far though & its all thanks to this vid
Man this is the only video I could find where they don’t time lapse the actual tear down and assembly, very in depth. I’m bookmarking this for when my cam comes in 💯💪🏽
Great vid, thanks for posting. It's been a while since I've torn an engine down, to bare block, and this brought back good memories. I've been thinking about camming my 5.3 sierra, you might have just pushed me over the fence. Thanks bud, appreciate all you put into this.
Only 1 step missed.... Installing the harmonic balancer b4 tightening the timing cover bolts. Leave the bolts loose to allow the harmonic b oil Seal to center around the balancer then tighten timing cover. This helps to prevent leaks prematurely
Excellent job! Absolutely the best how to for an LS cam swap project. My parts are on order and I will definitely have this on the iPad sitting in the fender well while I do the swap.
Great job and great insight for the beginner like me that prefer to do things myself to make sure it's done right and less costly towards my projects..thank you for taking the time to share 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆 🏆
Like the video and all the explanation and all, hope to be able to do this one day and be able to open up my shop keep up the good work shout out from phx az
Very well Done buddy. I thought this video would be filled w distractions like the funny ROOSTER. Fun & made to watch. Great job. Please do a video on how to truly set top dead center some day or direct us to a current video u have on that subject. Thx again
What I appreciate is you show the things that people don't like "oh this clip right here is pose to be just like this" like dawg u a real one and u did this in great detail ima come back to this video when I need it for mine I got a salvage youkon for 800 and it got front end damage the engine is fine but the rad and the peice that holds the rad is fucked definitely need new side panels on the front and a new grill and bumper but it's cool tho because the biggest bonus with this car it has all the wire for a big music system already installed so I definitely will make the most out of this car I do love it alot
Im doing a cam swap aswell, i have the timing chain dot to dot, does the harmonic balancer have to go in any specific way to not throw off timing? ( mine only has 3 holes as "markings")Thanks
what cam did you use and are you willing to do it again? I have a blown head gasket and ticks for the first couple min on cold start only. 04 Silverado with 5.3L in Jacksonville Fl area. - lol
@@osoquanrunnit4372 It did not go as smoothly as his did. I took my time, and took some pictures for reference, but I still fought it. It's back together and runs good. But I would definitely let someone else do it for me if I was to do it again.
Hey bo howd you get the ones underneath the manifold that hold the heads on. Mines a gen 3 lm7 ls. You just pry it out cuz there is play with the manifold. But my oil dipstick tuble laces through the manifold and i think i just yank that out right?
Pretty much the same thing only addition you would be doing is deleting DOD and changing the dod lifters they also come with a timing chain tensioner that also needs to be replaced.
Gdamn didn’t know it you had to take down the whole thing. I’m not a car guy btw. Always wondered how people install cams. How much would it cost to get a cam installed?
tighten her with an impact and call it a day. (kidding ofc) usually you can find that stuff for the specific part, just takes a little while to do if you have a bunch of parts.

That’s pretty sad
@@ThrowingWrenches-ce6qeman some people just cant do this type of work quickly like others can
@@user-qr3oy7bf7rit wasn’t even done in one day and he had help when he was taking off the heads that job was easily 8 hours
😂@@ThrowingWrenches-ce6qe
@@user-qr3oy7bf7r I think it's about have decent tools. Some dudes don't have power tools
Bro really took apart the whole engine with one hand!!! THANK YOU SIR! Great video!
Man this is the only video I could find where they don’t time lapse the actual tear down and assembly, very in depth. I’m bookmarking this for when my cam comes in 💯💪🏽
Nicely done man. I can't express how much this really helps. Bout to do this in the driveway and just seeing the specialty tools really helps.

Just the video I needed man and it was very in depth from start to finish man and I definitely appreciate this video for sure 👍🏾
One of the best DIY videos on YT!! 👍🏾👍🏾 straight forward no steps skipped

No one bolt torqued !!! And air hammered crank shaft for 5 sec then pulley in one spot!!! But for the most part very helpful that anyone can do it !!
Why doesn’t this channel have more subscribers! You make this look so easy bro good job !

Great video. It sounds amazing! Two questions, what cam kit and do you have to take heads off do this job.
Definitely got my sub and like. Good job guys

Great group of friends...
Learned something today! Thanks
It's sounds good too I'd love to do this to my 05 avalanche
Please detail and maker for camshaft and valve springs and where you picked up. TY good show.
Good video for easy install on a cam
Excellent work!!!
Great video. Is the Gen V LT version of this video taken down? Was the best LT tear down vid on RUclips.
Video was hella worth it thanks
Nice job! So tell me, how do you fix the high lift cam making the engine run rich?
This is excellent content!
Great video. Thank you very much.
what cam did you install
you did good telling step by step.
Great video! 👍🏽
Cool video, was there any PCM tuning required after the Cam install? Thanks!
Cool work man 👍
Great video!. Subscribed
Very good video dude. I’m confused on why the idle wasn’t more of a clean chop. Is that due to needing tuned after cam install?
Best vid out there 👌
Great video.!! Keep it up.!!!
Great video I'm confident I can fo that, how much horse power did it gain
You deserve a follow
Awesome video !!
well done young man!
Badass video thank you man
Great video👍🏾
What I appreciate is you show the things that people don't like "oh this clip right here is pose to be just like this" like dawg u a real one and u did this in great detail ima come back to this video when I need it for mine I got a salvage youkon for 800 and it got front end damage the engine is fine but the rad and the peice that holds the rad is fucked definitely need new side panels on the front and a new grill and bumper but it's cool tho because the biggest bonus with this car it has all the wire for a big music system already installed so I definitely will make the most out of this car I do love it alot
Nice job 👏. What stage cam is that?
How about the transmission torque converter does that needs to be change too ?
Good job fellas
What exhaust is that? Sounds great!!
Great 🎉 video!!
If you work on others vehicles how much would you charge for a cam install with new springs and rods ?
Gonna do this once I have a house and motorcycle
What head gaskets are those sir? Also you just put them in dry no sealant correct?
youre the man fr
What cam did you use and I would have changed out for new timing chain and put new new pump
Im doing a cam swap aswell, i have the timing chain dot to dot, does the harmonic balancer have to go in any specific way to not throw off timing? ( mine only has 3 holes as "markings")Thanks
Good job young buck!
what determines if you need different valves for clearance?
Best one I've seen yet. The only thing I disagree with is the crank pulley install. Otherwise very good video. Keep up the good work.
Nevermind the angle grinder to the head
Both of those methods are super sketch but good job other than that bro.
yea only prob i thought of was the air hammer the thrust washer lol
Did you get the heads re surfaced at a shop? You mentioned something about them in the video but just to be sure
thats a sick yukon
what cam did you use and are you willing to do it again? I have a blown head gasket and ticks for the first couple min on cold start only. 04 Silverado with 5.3L in Jacksonville Fl area. - lol
Great video
Do you know whats the biggest size cam i can add to my 4.8 on my Silverado without changing out my stall
No torque sequences bro? Also doest the truck automatically go to TDC once turned off
Damn son.... You made that looks easy. Wish me luck !
How'd it go
@@osoquanrunnit4372 It did not go as smoothly as his did. I took my time, and took some pictures for reference, but I still fought it. It's back together and runs good. But I would definitely let someone else do it for me if I was to do it again.
What type of spring compressor do u have bro?
Needed this info for my Escalade 6.0
It's the same thing. All these truck engines are about the same.
Hey bo howd you get the ones underneath the manifold that hold the heads on. Mines a gen 3 lm7 ls. You just pry it out cuz there is play with the manifold. But my oil dipstick tuble laces through the manifold and i think i just yank that out right?
do you need to tune the truck? After cam, lifters, intake?
What's the cam you used sounds nice
dont even think about putting up a gen 4 cam swap video or i might get a little ballsy and try mine out 😂 good video man 💪🏻
Pretty much the same thing only addition you would be doing is deleting DOD and changing the dod lifters they also come with a timing chain tensioner that also needs to be replaced.
they’re pretty much the same like that guy said ^
Gdamn didn’t know it you had to take down the whole thing. I’m not a car guy btw. Always wondered how people install cams. How much would it cost to get a cam installed?
I would've cleaned up the engine some and added headers while you had it all apart. Nice thorough video though!
Good job!
What was the lobe separation on this cam?
I wish you had the torque specification for every boats that you install other then that great video
tighten her with an impact and call it a day. (kidding ofc) usually you can find that stuff for the specific part, just takes a little while to do if you have a bunch of parts.
Did you have to use a torque wrench any?
what cam kit did you do. no tune etc
Nice work
I cammed a 5.3 I got fuel spark but not start u think my timing is off ?
Serious though, what cam did you purchase for this and was it stock size?
