I got a junkyard 5.3 Iron block took it apart gapped the rings and tossed the pistons back in using the same bearings since they looked great bought a new cam that worked good with boost new lifters ported the heads checked the heads and deck to make sure no warpage used ARP stud kit and Felpro MLS head gaskets and it works great the highest boost was 22lbs with no issues
I rebuilt my LS1 Aluminum block Over the Winter. I had The same exact problem with the Cam gears ton of slack in the chain. Bought stock gm first then went to ktech still loose then bought nylon guide for chain took up some slack but still Wasn't comfortable with it. Ended up buying melling precision gears for it. 9ﾟ swing either way and finally got a tight chain. $400 later didn't return any the other stuff.. They just run loose!! Love the videos keep up the good work fellassss
Was the engine rebuilt or you just put good pistions and rods and cleaned gasket materials in it like so what I’m asking you didn’t do no machine work on black cause I’m thinking about doing just good pistons and rods n home cylinders put em it cause I also have a junkyard 5.3 runs good but just broke a vaulve spring and one lifter where spring broke so was gonna do this while I did that if that’s all you did was just hone cylinders n install forged pistons and rods
Would it be possible to make 1000 H.P. on pump gas out of a junkyard LS was wanting to use a cast iron 5.3L truck engine. If necessary could see doing a 383 stroker build (if cost isn't prohibitive). Unless other mods are financially more feasible.
whats a good starter that you would recommend.. also id like to build stout 5.3 with a procharger.id like to have something reliable to say 1500 but might not see 1500 for awhile.
Why is the intake fly cut flipped ? Is it to support better combustion flow? Because I’m not quite sure the valves would hit the bottom of the piston without hitting the top first
Question...if I wanted to run an LS in a 2nd gen Camaro with a single turbo would you recommend running the Holley Sniper EFI kit? Also, when doing the valve adjustment on an LS can you do the whole set to zero lash and then 3/4 of a turn method? Seen that done quite a bit for engine builds.
Don’t give the truck away it’s the perfect parts truck and do anything vehicle. If you wanna drive something that you don’t necessarily care about that much if it breaks, the truck is the best option for that!!!
Do you think that I would need to upgrade the rods and pistons if I wanted to build a ~900HP or so junkyard 5.3L LS with a S475 turbo and camshaft upgrade? I just didn't know if the stock rods and pistons would be strong enough to handle the stresses? I capped it at ~900HP so that I should not need a built transmission and could get by with a Stage 5 ATS 545RFE, or built axles.
Great video I learned a lot from your videos I was thinking about going 5.3 but I believe now I'm going 6.0 turbo I would like to get close to a thousand horsepower for my Foxbody build
Hey u should do rods an pistons please do an just take the motor over to tkm an have it bored oh ya summit has a h beam rod an any cheap aftermarket piston
Is that 5.3 a pre 2002? If so it would have came with the composite gaskets and the cylinder heads will have the notches that won't seal with MLS gaskets. Lmao I just figured that out the hard way on my latest gen 3 turd.
Shesh im just now seeing this 2yrs later😭 i just bought a 6.2 from a Denali finna swap it into my coupe but i also want to build it but i dont want to go to crazy any suggestions on a good badass not to crazy build? Im sorry im 2 years late😂
so I definitely have a question.... around the 18 minute and 50 second mark you said you do not recommend running ls9 gaskets on a 5.3? That is what is on my 5.3L ... so I was told? The motor was built when I bought the car. I'm just wondering how come it's not a good idea to put that combination together? Is it a bad seal? I've got 243 heads on a 5.3 and I'm about 99.9% sure it is a gen 3 5.3. It has a tick polluter V2 stage 3 cam
I'm just asking because I honestly do not know. I've had nothing but Mustangs with 351 Windsor swap and mainly Fox body cars and a few sn95 cars. So I'm definitely in the learning process whenever it comes to LS style engines on what is good and what is not and what will work and what will not. I know my engine has ARP head bolts. So that's got to be pretty decent. It has a 102 fast intake ,102 Nick Williams throttle body and 80lb Deka injectors. It is a iron block. I'm trying to figure out what size turbo to go with. Because once I get my house done, I am going to start buying a few parts here and there until I've got my turbo kit completed. But I really plain on finding a 6.0 and dropping it off at tkm to get it Top Fuel hooped
Hey Jon love your channel dude huge fan. I'm building a tube chassis 89 fox. First car build for the track. This will be my first engine build I'm going tye route of junk yard 5.3 single turbo trying to do budget build what do you recommend for parts ect to get into the 1500 hp range any info would be greatly appreciated thanks Jon
Yes Please on the giveaway! The ranger reminds me of Joy from My Name is Earl shes a good time but I know you can do better. Its like John is cheating on the Cow with trailer park queen lol.
...you said in the opening... Without quoting direct you said you can take the same power adder (while pointing to the 'sheeps turbo which made 2300+ down track) and will make the same power on the junkyard motor all day long....BUT might blow the backend out the junk first pass. I know exactly what you mean and say, but many people on here may not have the experience or knowledge to interpret them opening comments correctly. Love the show, just sayin.
Give the ranger away but make a 9.5” deck nasty shirt first. I’ll buy a 9.5 deck nasty t shirt for a chance to win the ranger. Chris needs to get TKM to build an ultimate 9.5” deck SBF for the Bad Apple too.
Hi. I newly interest with automotive I am amaze with your buildm congrats 👍 By the way. I still don't really get a point. Why some engine could go up to 500++ hp some other just below it. Even with higher CC
I respect these guys because they do have a lot of experience with ls but god damn when I see a shop with parts and tools everyhere,it drives me crazy. If our shop was like that I would stop everyone and make them clean. I can't stand to rebuild a transmission or a diff when there is no order. Even myself I get messy sometimes so I take 5 minutes to clean everything
I know you dont like comments on what to do from us viewers but I think most ls guys that know what there doing will tell you to gap those rings butt not trying to tell you how or what to do lsnasty to the front
Cool.. So seriously...for any Joe Blow..like me.. What's the cost. Of this motor with turbo. Start to finish... Ball park. Give or take 500 bucks. 🤔🤔🤔👍👍
@@kingyankee69 ..so if John and or the shop 5500 dollars. Can the crew build me a junk yard 1000 hp motor.. I'll settle around 850 hp... But has to be 1000 hours👍😀👍😀
@@wavefchan6766 If you can do that you can do the rest, minus the tune, you have the entire internet to look up the rest, if your not sure ask someone. You can do it. Lol
First off yes give the ranger away. Second you giving Phil hell about his footwear and never see Logan in shoes except when at the track lol. Joey messed with Ben's side of the head gasket failure. So now who will be to blame? I mean besides that self adjusting sweet timing chain.
The lunch hour videos are a much appreciated break before headed back to work.

Is it still alive?
Yeah is it still alive?
I learned my lesson and always check rod bearings at a min before installing... which is a perfect time to gap the rings.
We ain't gapping rings we gapping fool's lololol
"Cause we not gappin' any rings, we just gappin' fools"- John Doc 2020 🔥🔥😂😂
Jonny boy I’m glad I found you
That made my soda come out my nose.
This quote needs to be a sticker for us sloppy Ls guys
5/28/20 the last time anyone ever used this phrase.

How long do you think it will last for a daily driver, no racing. Well maybe a couple of stop light passes.
You gotta try a summit rod/piston combo and run it to 1000hp
I just dropped a 6.0L LS in my 86 Z28 and its awesome car has enough power to be fun to drive now
What company did you get those head gaskets from if you don't mind me asking
When Phils head popped in there for the cam install had me rollin. Good stuff brotha
John doc 5 feet or 50 seconds warranty rebuilt !
What motor oil do u use

whats a good starter that you would recommend.. also id like to build stout 5.3 with a procharger.id like to have something reliable to say 1500 but might not see 1500 for awhile.
John what are you doing with the big thumper cam ????
Oil pump ? Which one are you using
What's a good 4.8 combo gen 3 looking for 700hp
How much air fuel you can stuff inside the motor
are yall hirin? im a good sweeper
Whats best 6.2 or 6.0
Why is the intake fly cut flipped ? Is it to support better combustion flow? Because I’m not quite sure the valves would hit the bottom of the piston without hitting the top first
So you don't degree your cam?
how you make 1000hp on a sbe 6 liter? trynna get some knowledge?!!
3:44 how about some new cam bearings? lol they showing copper too
What makes the LS9 head gasket and LS7 lifters better?
What kinda lift and duration does the lambcam have?
I think you should give away the Ranger and make sure the winter video tapes blowing the 6.o up
What's wrong with using a scotch brite Pad as long as you know how to use it and dont dig in
Where you guys located at?
What is the part number for that cam?
What is the specifications on the lamb cam?
What's the cam size

Is it ok, non turbo?
Holy shit yall.... Just spraying copper paint through the air with all those cars in there. I would hate to be your customer with my car in that shop.
It's funny people think it would hold up. Squirrel tune runs 7s with a stock bottom end 4.8l 2years and it's still living.
Hey u should do rods an pistons please do an just take the motor over to tkm an have it bored oh ya summit has a h beam rod an any cheap aftermarket piston
What's up with the box
Are those oem pistons?
Gotta keep the Ranger, how else do the gapporonni's get delivered???
How much was the whole build
I have a 6 liter block. I need you guys to build it 600hp for a drop in to a 1994 caprice classic
I have the stock crank as well. How much would you charge me
Hey John, what’s the name of the wheel “Joey Bag o’ donuts” was using to clean up that deck surface, I’d like to get one of those?
3M Scotch Brite Roloc Bristle Disc. they come in different colors that are different grits.
My biggest question and concern is what transmission can hold that much horsepower because I was gonna do it but the transmission is concerning
A built 4L80?

I'm differently going stock block
big turbo low boost as doing turbo two time piping waist gates ECT multiple times is differently not cost effective
What’s your address to your shop.. I would like for you to build me a Ls junkyard built 6.0 with a 480le transmission to make a 1000plus hp..
If you have it apart. Why would you not put new bearing and rings???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Hell yeah guys. Gapping a 4.8 to beat up and learn from in my suburban. 7875 turbo.
hey guys i have a gen4 5.3 that i want to build a single 80mm turbo to go into a 94 sonoma ive never built a turbo motor
