Do you happen to know how much it would cost to rebuild an LS3 with 250,000 miles ?

This moment reminds me of Caracatus Potts, where he spends forever all his time in his garage building his car and then eureka, it finally starts! Whoa, that sound! That is beautiful - Mad Max Interceptor!!! Now the Rocket Bunny Kit makes sense. I wasn't keen on it but I can see now that it needs it to match the character of the engine.

It's getting very exciting at this stage. Thanks for the immense effort in video, sharing and effort on top of actually doing the work and doing the day job. I didn't appreciate the vast amount of wiring work required on a new engine build.

Sorry I'm a bit late to the party. Only just this week started going through your PH thread. It's absolutely awsome and I'm taking my time going through each bit to follow your journey. I don't know anything about rebuilding an engine and found this episode very interesting. It was not boring or too wordy at all.

Last year was just really busy, the car was being a pain in the butt and I quickly fell out of love of the idea of trying to force out a few videos without much interesting content to show off. Sadly after I got it all up and running the engine spun a couple of bearings and it's been off the road since. I couldn't pull the engine on a drive way and the car got moved to a local farm but thanks to all the noise there it's a terrible place to make videos. The Engine itself is out and It's currently being rebuilt as I didn't fancy doing it again myself in a dusty old barn. Hoping to get it back on the road again for the summer and I may start making a few videos again but they'll probably be few and far between as I'd rather not try and force myself to make a video for the sake of trying to stick to some kind of schedule this time.

Hi, I usually just measure the size I need, in this case the Rod Journal was 58mm so I simply bought a 58mm "Clock Insert" a quick google search brings up a few places you and purchase them or I think I bought these off Ebay

At that moment i'm lapping the valves, give it a google for more info but basically over time the valve seating surfaces become pitted so you essentially use grinding paste to "Re-seat" them so that they make a good seal when the valves are closed

Great video. I'm itching to put an LS3 with a Tremec TKX 5 speed in my 71 El Camino. It currently has an LM7 with a 4L60e. Couple questions, how do you decide to do a full tear down versus just dropping a used engine in?
@SamwiseEXCL
@SamwiseEXCL Жыл бұрын
Soon after I got the engine it stopped turning over by hand, I decided at that moment that I had to get it apart to work out what was causing that and then in the process decided that it was best to rebuild it overall as it was quite grimey and sludgy inside with old oil
