@@danfoley6920 Scoggin-Dickey Parts Center. they have everything you need and everything is oem parts. Don’t forget to order a separate thread cleaner for the head bolt holes because your new threads have new thread lock.
@@esau5.3 it’s definitely an intensive job for someone like me that doesn’t work in a shop. But just have a good amount of knowledge and MAKE SURE YOU HAVE EVERYTHING YOU NEED TOOLS AND ALL THE RIGHT PARTS BEFORE YOU START. And aslong as your motor never overheated in the past I doubt you’ll need to get the heads resurfaced.. I didn’t need to it’s still running strong ever since. I used click style torque wrenches I rented them from auto zone and then I got one of the compases for the bolts that need to be turned a certain amount of degrees for the heads. Make sure you clean all mating surfaces very well and use common sense. Move at a good pace that’s not too stressful. Have a couple drinks play music and definitely get a second pair of hands if you have the chance. That makes everything in the world easier when taking the heavy heads off and holding the exhaust manifolds in place to be bolted down when you’re getting ready to finish
@@danfoley6920 scoggin Dickey auto parts bro make sure you get everything you need. They have front cover gasket sets and make sure your kit comes with a brand new balancer bolt. Also make sure you get a thread chaser for the heads. The old ones leave thread locker in the block and you don’t wanna mess with that when you can get the chaser for like 40 bucks
Good analysis to solve the misfire and great to fix it ! Take care with the good cleaning the cylinder head also all the reassembled ! Thank you for sharing your job! 🇧🇷
It’s a lot of work. Had number 7 intake lifter fail. It was 1200 in parts and materials to fix it. I have built these motors, but much harder to do in the truck. I definitely wouldn’t recommend sand paper on the block or head. Scrape with razor blade then scrub with brake cleaner and a microfiber cloth.
The inlets left open on the other bank you are taking chances something doesn't fall in. Disconnecting the battery before you start is a must. All that coolent should be drained out the block before the head is removed. Now it's run down the cylinder walls into the oil. Push rod might be damaged. Head bolts probably consider replacing. There is always the possibility that the head the block is no longer flat.
2 things: How was the camshaft? Bolts stretch. Does GM require that you replace all the head bolts to prevent breakage when reusing the same head bolts?
yes it is, if you don't want to be redoing it or blowing a head gasket. remember not to use the same head bolts and blow out your holes. Don't let the degrees scare you. if you don't have a t-wrench that has degrees, your local auto parts store should have a attachment for under 30 dollars.
Bought me a torque angle wrench from Harbor freight. Used my coupon and saved me money. I used my new torque angle wrench. Worked perfectly. And it's very necessary to have accuracy. On the driver's side head, the very front head bolt is a inverted head bolt. And it's not Torque to 60° Downloaded the spec sheet for the head torque sequence and worked good. I got all of my parts from Scogging Dickey. Quick delivery.
Easy to gauge aluminum heads with a metal blade if not careful. Use gasket cleaner and a plastic blade(they sell plastic razor blades) if you have not done this before and are comfortable using a razor nlade
I have a 2016 chevy suburban In the process of changing out the fuel injectors, I dropped the tip of an injector into the injector port.Any ideas of how to get it out without taking off the head
Heads up for anyone doing this to the drivers side. One headbolt is a 13mm allen socket, confused me for a second due to not having an angle on the bolts outside cylinder 2.
You are ready took the heads up just take her to the machine shop. Get them back the day you get them back finish up that job up at night but I’m not a professional. I enjoy seeing this video. You guys are doing. Decent work good work but always took mine to the machine shop. Let them do the hands.
I don't recommend prying between head and block. I would use the intake or exhaust port. Also people should be very careful with razor blades on aluminum. Use plastic scraper and brake cleaner. Don't forget that ground strap will cause all kinds of problems later. I learned long ago Quacker State is crap. Good video and like your shirt. How many miles?
I had to get rid of my truck after lifter ticking no mechanic would touch it called like 7 the ones that would said it would cost $8000 for the dod delete and $5000 to replace one side with 4 new lifters if the cam was not damaged otherwise it would be more money. In the North Texas area couldn’t find anyone to do it at a reasonable price. My truck had 250k miles really cool setup. Now I made a decision to just pay extra for dealerships since local mechanics near me are few hundred cheaper than dealerships might as well pay the extra few hundred more since it’s not that big of a difference.
My 2015 gmc yukon denali xl is having the same issue and the dealer its my valve lifter and probably camshaft that need to be replaced and quoted me a price of 15k.....i wish could bring my truck to you
I have a similar issue with my 2015 Suburban. And they asked for 12k too for me. That’s a rip off. If you can help me get this baby running new. How much would you charge me?
Don't do one side. You will regret it later when the other side fails. My sister had to do it twice and 5k later she learned her lesson. The second time I pulled both heads and all new GM parts. $1200.00 in total parts and run perfectly.
Thank you for your video. I recently bought a new GMC Sierra truck two weeks ago, and it made a noise that led to a repair for a lifter issue. It has only driven 1400 km since, but I'm concerned it might break down again soon. What do you think?
Don’t worry too much. I have 185000 miles on my 2016 Sierra with the 5.3 and I have never had a problem. Number one thing with these engines is keeping up on your oil changes. I do every 5000 miles religiously since new and I never had a problem. Only thing I had replaced under warranty was a passenger side front wheel bearing and the A/C condenser. Otherwise it’s been a solid truck.
Hopefully you see this but I’m coming to see any videos make sure everything is good right but I went ahead and changed my head gaskets and resurfaced my heads. When it came down to torquing my head bolts I put a washer in the top bolts only and torqued it down to 59ft lbs then the 90’ but didn’t do the 60’ right after I didn’t know about that one. Opinion?
I have a 2008 Silverado with 350k did pretty good with it. 5.3 with exactly the same issues. Why doesnt GM take care of this. Costs around 8gs to fix it. Changed my oil every 3gd or less moble 1. Im sure that helped the engine big time. But a very very poor design to say the lest just to save a few miles on gas. No need for it.
INSANE Government EPA mandates drove it, CAFE standards for light duty trucks average MPGs had been relatively unchanged since 1984 at around 20mpg. Then starting in around 2006 Demoxrats pished EPA to annually start jacking it up about 1 mpg per year. For TRUCKS... Manufacturers had NO choice or they would been fined thousands $ per vehicle produced or forced TO STOP building full size trucks all together. Thx DC swamp rats. Thus we have AFM setups and now a days these small turbo engines in trucks. It will get alot worse the next 10yrs. Get ready...
Not to mention most people who have disabled the arm have found they had the same if not a tiny bit better miles per gallon. Pretty sure when they tested it to gain government approval of their epa “enhancement” (or whatever it was for) they just drove it up the road 4 miles and back. That won’t give the overall mpg picture

Great video. Im subscribing to your channel. Where do you get the torque specs for this car? I have seen some blogs where they recommend 27 lbs and then 90 and sixty. Thanks
Pull the valve cover. Remove the rockers. Remove and replace push rods. Reinstall rocker arms to 22ft lbs. Reinstall valve cover, and reconnect plug wires and coil pack connectors.
GMC Suck The Same Shit Happen To My Truck 3 Times Than I Got Rid Of It Never Agin Will I Buy A New Truck So Much Money Down The Drain They Are Made So Cheap And Don't Last I Rather Buy An Old School 60s Or 70s Truck Now Those Are Real Trucks That Last For A Life Time...
I would've liked to have heard the engine run with no extra noise. My 6.2 suburban is in Chevy in yonkers now lifters and they told me that have to replace the whole engine. Luckily I saw videos like these and I heard the metallic tapping the first start up in the morning and I went to them to check it. First day in there they said they heard no noise at first start. I said that's weird I hear it and phone recorded it and its every morning. Then next day they heard it. It took them 2 1/2 weeks to get a gm inspector to verify the issue now they said I am getting a new engine. Luckily it was 4 months before powertrain warranty expires 5 years 60,000. It would have cost me 15 gs to do myself.
1. NEVER use sandpaper to clean ur head. Use a scraper a rag and brakleen. 2. Idc if you wasn't having issues before. Always have the head checked at a machine shop. 3. Did i just watch that man reuse the old head bolts 😬.
They are TTY bolts and not advisable to be reused, but if not stretched, they are fine to reuse. I've done it with no issues to date, always inspect the bolts and threads before reusing.
Before I would put the lifters in I would have soaked them in oil or tranny fluid then put them in and ad oil to them to the more you keep them lubed the better and longer they will last I’m not shore if these just wore out or neglect by not changing the oil
It's got nothing to do with oil. It's a bad design. They are prone to failure. A mechanic told my sister, they will fix the side that's bad. A week later the other side failed. Don't buy cheap parts from China. I went to the dealership and bought a GM parts. So far she spent 5k in repairs. After it broke down the second time. She parked it for one year. Then she hauled it to my house. I fixed it for her. She is so happy to have her truck back and runs smoothly
@ ya no crap China parts junk sorry to hear that my 14 crew cab Silverado has that AFM and I change the oil every 3000 miles with a bottle tranny fluid and I have very high miles still great but ya China parts
If we delete the afm, auto start/stop, VVT, brake vacuum pump, and convert the suspension to normal shocks, it’ll be solid!! Hahahaha the good 5.3s and 6.0s are either too old or too ugly. Get a nice new body at a reduced price because of the failure and do the mods and you should be set for 300k miles with proper maintenance!
Have repaired and rebuilt ALOT of engines over 35yrs. These GM engines are SO easy to work on, seriously. And they pretty forgiving in shade-tree workshops 😎👍.... UNLIKE these newer DI turbo charged 4- banger all aluminum engines I've rebuilt last 5 yrs.. totally temperamental piles of 💩
😂that would require a cam job and while your in there probally good idea to do water pump timing kit new oil pump, and pickup tube oring, its not just the afm your getting into on that but i wouldnt be reusing a high mileage pump, oh and then a tune, you can fix the lifters by releasing them doing a vlom mod and tuning out the afm, doing the job this way is 1 quarter the work and 1 quarter the price too
In the old days that would have meant that the camshaft was worn out but in today's crap. It's a technology failure. Just as big of a job as replacing the cam but the parts fit in a smaller box !!!
Them lifters that shut off turn it into a 4 cylinder when driving are junk. Freaking think this saves gas mileage. All this does is know your going to need a motor job eventually.
These LT motors are junk. The cylinder deactivating and the variable timing. I had one did the same thing but the lifter got stuck and ate the cam. So the motor was junk. Ive put in a used motor and deleted the software. I thought about doing the whole delete. But im going get rid of the truck and go to a 3/4 6.0 that dont have this garbage in it.
I've heard and seen this crap . Terrible vehicles over priced computerized plastic junk . 85 c30 4 life. Plastic has no place on a truck. Get a hold of yourself man.
The technology is a menace to society there is no need for the bullshit to be such a pain in the ass it's made to cost a you a ton of money all fkn short lived expensive junk

How many miles on this engine? It was super clean inside. Obviously, the lifter did not fail because of poor maintenance.
Shouldn't there be oil squirting out of the pushrod end of the rocker to lubricate the fulcrum and valve tip?
No lubrication before installing lifter's?

2 things: How was the camshaft? Bolts stretch. Does GM require that you replace all the head bolts to prevent breakage when reusing the same head bolts?
Always replace head bolts.
I've reused the OEM plenty of times with no issues, but reuse only once. ARP bolts don't get replaced.
I used to be a service writer at a small car lot and we had several GM lifter/DOD failures 😂
How accurate does the tightening have to be? Is that entire process of 59.0 lbs, 90° and 60° necessary?
Wondering the same

Did this on my 2016 Chevy Silverado on the driver side and now the engine will not start(Have Mechanical Background). Do I need to replace the VLOM?
any update?
Install pushrods in wrong position ?
FYI plug the holes under the vlom cover or replace the vlom or the same lifter will fail.

might as well do them both in pairs. why wanna tear all that work again if the other side fails a year later
That's what they did to my sister truck. After 5k later, I did both sides. She learned her lesson about going cheap

Yes im sure it does

Be aware that the 5.3s often will have destroyed cam lobes from inadequate hardening and/or defective lifter rollers.
Yes they will damage the cam lobes if the customer keeps driving it for awhile and doest get it fixed asap.
101% correct
The cam is toast
How can you tell if the cam has been damaged. I also pulled a bent rod.
When you pull each lifter, if the roller tip is damaged, then you are going to find the cam damaged
What’s process if I just need to do the push rods?
Pull the valve cover. Remove the rockers. Remove and replace push rods. Reinstall rocker arms to 22ft lbs. Reinstall valve cover, and reconnect plug wires and coil pack connectors.
Chances are you have bigger issues if you bent a rod. Replacing rods only with no other upgrades, is useless.
Great video 👍🏻
How much would this run to be done ?
Around 4gs is my guess
Not cheap
We’re are u located name of shop
What was the cost for the job?
2500 or up, depending what all parts you are changing.
Where are you located and how much do you charge for this? 2016 Silverado 5.3.
In Manitoba. Depending you want to both sides and all lifters or just one.
Message me direct on Instagram.

Excelente job.😮
Great job. It will be best if you changed the bolts
1. NEVER use sandpaper to clean ur head. Use a scraper a rag and brakleen.
2. Idc if you wasn't having issues before. Always have the head checked at a machine shop.
3. Did i just watch that man reuse the old head bolts 😬.
They are TTY bolts and not advisable to be reused, but if not stretched, they are fine to reuse. I've done it with no issues to date, always inspect the bolts and threads before reusing.
why 5W30 the engine need 0W20 ??!!
Before I would put the lifters in I would have soaked them in oil or tranny fluid then put them in and ad oil to them to the more you keep them lubed the better and longer they will last I’m not shore if these just wore out or neglect by not changing the oil
It's got nothing to do with oil.
It's a bad design. They are prone to failure.

Don't buy cheap parts from China.
I went to the dealership and bought a GM parts.
So far she spent 5k in repairs.
After it broke down the second time. She parked it for one year. Then she hauled it to my house. I fixed it for her.
She is so happy to have her truck back and runs smoothly
@ ya no crap China parts junk sorry to hear that my 14 crew cab Silverado has that AFM and I change the oil every 3000 miles with a bottle tranny fluid and I have very high miles still great but ya China parts
It is supposed to be 1st torque to 20 lbs then 180 degrees then 170 degrees . So being it's a 15 model maybe it has changed
Oh look! Another engine failure, but eveybody still wants a swap!
If we delete the afm, auto start/stop, VVT, brake vacuum pump, and convert the suspension to normal shocks, it’ll be solid!! Hahahaha the good 5.3s and 6.0s are either too old or too ugly. Get a nice new body at a reduced price because of the failure and do the mods and you should be set for 300k miles with proper maintenance!
Put all new lifters guides and lasted 300 miles came is out.
Yes I said the same thing that lifter dun scarred that cam
Not replacing cam, you're just wasting your time.
how often do you have to replace this
when it break and have misfire lol
Seems like gm wants to be a 5.4
Tear the engine apart to fix a noise that'll destroy the engine
Good video
One should use plastic razor blades to scrape aluminium heade and the block surfaces.
That is correct. But I've done it this way and works very good everything and no problems.
Experience is key here. You remove gasket residue, not head material, but it's easy to screw up if not experienced.
AFM and DOD Junk design...good ole fashion regular roller lifters in my 02 silverado with a 6.0 and 257k miles til this day👍🏿

Use a die grinder, grind a line perpendicular to the threads on old head bolts make a chase for free. No sandpaper please.
Nice work
Thanks for your effort✌️
Great video, thank you
Since you had the heads off you should of just delete the afm
😂that would require a cam job and while your in there probally good idea to do water pump timing kit new oil pump, and pickup tube oring, its not just the afm your getting into on that but i wouldnt be reusing a high mileage pump, oh and then a tune, you can fix the lifters by releasing them doing a vlom mod and tuning out the afm, doing the job this way is 1 quarter the work and 1 quarter the price too
In the old days that would have meant that the camshaft was worn out but in today's crap. It's a technology failure. Just as big of a job as replacing the cam but the parts fit in a smaller box !!!
All ready in that deep should have changed them all
The lifter is not colaspe as if the spring had broke or even weakend. No the inner valve is stuck . Most likely the front half of the VLOM are lose
I wish my lifter was stuck, but alas, it was the lifter guide that failed 😣
At least drain the coolant so you don't get it all over and down the cylinders. Why make your job harder?
Im amazed you half to pull the heads to change lifters on these ls motor smh
Them lifters that shut off turn it into a 4 cylinder when driving are junk. Freaking think this saves gas mileage. All this does is know your going to need a motor job eventually.
Plastic razor blades are made for this job
These LT motors are junk. The cylinder deactivating and the variable timing. I had one did the same thing but the lifter got stuck and ate the cam. So the motor was junk. Ive put in a used motor and deleted the software. I thought about doing the whole delete. But im going get rid of the truck and go to a 3/4 6.0 that dont have this garbage in it.
SHO 💯💯 NUFF
I've heard and seen this crap . Terrible vehicles over priced computerized plastic junk . 85 c30 4 life. Plastic has no place on a truck. Get a hold of yourself man.
Head
A pro
Good idea! Poor design!
Stupid design how come you need to pull out the cyl. Head just to replace valve lifter.
@reynaldochua772 Good Question! I thought we had cylinder blocks perfected in the 50's
The technology is a menace to society there is no need for the bullshit to be such a pain in the ass it's made to cost a you a ton of money all fkn short lived expensive junk
What sand paper did you use to clean the head
You shouldn't be using any. Unless you're getting the heads jot tanked and surface checked/decked afterwards.
