these are some great videos thanks. ive wanted to pull my LS1 out and give it a overhaul because im cheap and find it hard to justify paying someone else to do something i could do. Im no ace mechanic, but i do know my way around tools. These videos help with guiding in such a way that it wouldnt be all too much of a difficult job. Looks fun
Big thanks to you for making this series! This is my first time doing internal engine work and your videos are giving me a ton more confidence. Definitely a lot of tips in here that I would've overlooked. Can't wait to get my turbo LS marauder back up and running
The "O Ring " debacle has been a pain in the ass for many who do not have the original O Ring . It's great you showed that . Also there are aftermarket upgrades for the pick-up tube that are better than original pertaining to sealing to the oil pump .
Pumping a flat tappet lifter to fill it with oil was written into many many older GM service manuals and if memory serves , Oldsmobile had a fixture to accomplish the task . I agree with you 100% that it is not a needed step . I stopped doing this in the early '80s and never ever had an issue by not pumping them with oil .
Leave front and rear cover bolts lose. you can use the balancer to center the seal then tighten. i found it works just as good if not better then the tools
I'm just getting around to installing my 1998 062 vortec heads on my old Stock 1982 Chevy 350 engine... I want to update my hydraulic lifters...do I buy them to fit my 82 350 Block or the 1998 062 chevy 350 Vortec heads ? Thanks again my Friend !
These are the best video series I have seen. I noticed that on the melling oil pump one of the splines has a groove in it. The OEM pump does not have that groove. Does that groove make a difference for the oil pressure in any way? We returned the pump due to one article I read saying don't use the pump due to the groove causing low oil pressure. I do see everyone using these pumps so they must be great.
Great vids, learning alot. I am new to this hobby. I have seen you do each step multiple times now after watching several videos, but I don't think you have ever shown us how to put in the valves and the springs on the cylinder head. How does that work?
Those cam specs sounded exactly like my stock LS6 cam. I’ve upgraded naturally 😂. BTR stage 4 NA cam, 234/248 at 50, .631/.617 lift with 1.7rr, 113 LSA.
Nice job!! I see a lot off similarities between the LS blocks and the FE motors on the bottom end.. Is it true the LS heads can fit on a Windsor motor? Thanks!!! Looking forward to the finishing of the 289 motor..
I just saw a video where the anti rotor tray failed, it was a cheapo and it wiped out the cam when the lifters started spinning. Buy good stuff it is worth the extra money.
Good Job, very well teaching, there is no timing chain tensioner in this year LS1?? Just wondering? And, do you put thread lock on cam gear bolts/ cam plate bolts?? Thank you, youtheman !=)
Spirited there was no mention about aligning the oil pump. Seeing as you took time to check all the clearances of everything else. Is it not as important as others would make it?
Very nice videos I’m learning a lot from you..!! Just one question the oil pump don’t have to be shimmed in 2 or 3 places? I heard some guys that don’t do this have low oil pressure..
Where are you? At some point I’ll need a rebuild on my 2002 Camaro SS and I’d like to add a blower. Nothing crazy but wanting a couple hundred more HP.
On the LS engines is there any of the head bolts that goes in to the coolant to where they have to have thread sealer on them as well as the ARP grease?

Thank you for the LS1 rebuild series and sharing your knowledge!
My pleasure!
Thank you for a good format and good description of what your doing, without talking to us like we are kids. Very good video.
Thus far,this has been an awesome series. All the while I felt like I was in a college class with a professor. I'm learning a lot. Thank you!

I’ve been watching these video like they were the Bible. Excited to use all this knowledge to do a cam in my L99!
Glad it was helpful!

Mellings usually says to indicate the oil pump with 3 feller gauges I. Think .001 or .002 in. 3 spots
These vids are great!
I’ve found a cheap steering wheel puller works great for pulling the old crank timing gear. And using the old gear and HB bolt to set the new one
Great tip!

Get the lifters that come with the block
arp provides torque sequence on a sheet of paper included in every box of head bolts or studs

How much hp did that cam give you because I bet it sucks to daily in traffic 😂 I’m gonna guess 450 wheel with headers
300!!!??? That's a lot of LS engines. I'm building an 02 Gen III LS1 but man i wish it was an aluminum block
I put cam in before rotating assembly.its easier and less chance of damage to the cam.
I usually do too but like I talked about in the video I didn't have the cam yet
Very good information
I have an LS1 out of my 1999 camaro,, I would love this guy to rebuild it! only 100,000 on it and I already pulled the engine!!
Nice job!! I see a lot off similarities between the LS blocks and the FE motors on the bottom end.. Is it true the LS heads can fit on a Windsor motor? Thanks!!!

Some of gm's oil pickups used both bolt holes in the pump
Well done , Thanks!
Thanks!!
If I just went through getting a motor rebuilt, I would want a tuner to go through it and set it all up.
Yes
You remind me of my auto shop teacher...
oh really was he handsom too
Where are you? At some point I’ll need a rebuild on my 2002 Camaro SS and I’d like to add a blower. Nothing crazy but wanting a couple hundred more HP.
yo hope u respond but what kind of oil do you use to break in the motor let alone prime oil pump and lube it? thx
Torque Specs on the oil pump bolts ?
Did anyone else notice at 25:00 he missed a bolt in the 25 ft lb sequence bottom bolt left of center
What's your opinion of the LT1 Ecotech engine? I just picked one up with a 6L80 out of a 2014 Silverado. It's got 109000 miles on it.
Good Engine
I didn't see you degree the cam? I am building my LS along with you and I am at the point to degree the cam. I was hoping to watch you do it.
I didn't add it in here because I have so many cam degree vids
On the LS engines is there any of the head bolts that goes in to the coolant to where they have to have thread sealer on them as well as the ARP grease?
No but you need to make dang sure there is no coolant in those holes because it can hydraulic and break the block get the ARP thread chaser
@@Myvintageiron7512 Thanks Kerry !!!!!!!
Can you leave links to the parts ?
Moving a Shop is no small task
using the open valley as a table? no thx
That looks like a truck pickup tube not a fbody
