350 Chevy TBI 5.7 Engine Tear Down / Rebuild , Video #1

This video was made for the enthusiast and or hobbyist. The engine is a 1993 light duty 350 (5.7) TBI (Throttle Body Injection) , it is not 34 years old as initially stated in the video , it was checked after I published the video. There is a couple minutes loss of sound at approx 1hour 6 minute mark and a song from 1:10:10 to 1:13:30 ( I apologize) to cover another copyrighted song as I had the radio on and picked up some Copyrighted Content ( song's )by mistake. I did try several times to remove the songs with no luck.

[@ericthorsell7515]

Pulled the exact same engine out of my 90 C2500. Crank had so much end play the counter balances were eating into the caps and block and ruined a flex plate. Couple of the bearings were starting to 'blue' from heat, but never spun one, had almost no cross hatch in the cylinders, less then normal ridge ring for having 300,000 miles on it, always fired right up, used 1 quart of oil between the 3000 mile oil changes, but was down to 13 mpg which was why I pulled it to give it a good look through. Got the truck used and drove it and maintained it for 5 years before yanking the engine. Even when they're 'bad' they're still good.

[@claygreen4723]

Always wanted to do this. I'm gonna redo my 91 GMC with paint, interior and a new/rebuilt motor. Why spend 50 grand on a new truck when I have a kit in the driveway?

[@jaysgarage3616]

I'm away at work but the engine is still not ready at the machine shop , hopefully it is when I get back home this time. Good luck with your build!

@UCKgaCSZ5MWpUVv-2NdcxVqg yes...., "brother man."🤔 I've been there, done that...... The anticipation has to, SUCK, dingle berries, like sand through, CONCRETE! What sucks about the, "waiting game" is that it is the, SAME, For this engine as the last one, as well as the next, one! The only thing that sucks worse is the FIRST, initial, "start up", when you/eye am as nervous as a dog schitting a, peach seed. When you KNOW that it only takes 1 bolt, rod cap, main cap, oil pump bolt, either totally, forgotten about, or improperly, torqued, & it's back to squar...... nevermind Gear heads know the, drill... hahaha... hehe. 😉✌❤💯 Good ol', "NEGATIVE Nancy doesnt get entertained by, me, my friend, ...... phuck that cunt!

@Clay Green Doing the same thing with my 93 K1500. I have redone most of the interior.. My new 40-20-40 front seat will be here in May and then it's just little odds and ends to finish up the inside (glove box door, new map/dome light assembly, color matched sun visors, etc.. Just took the 350 short block to the machine shop yesterday to get cleaned, machined, new pistons if they decide to bore it out (355) new cam/main bearings, threaded oil galley plugs, new freeze plugs, and they're gonna pop in my new cam and timing set for me. Final setup will be: 350 or 355 with 906/062 iron vortec heads, 2.02"intake/1.60"exhaust. Comp Cams XE256H flat tappet: .449/.456 lift, 212/218 duration (@ .05) 112° LSA Long tube headers, GM performance TBI Vortec intake, gonna keep the factory throttle body but rebuild it with new injectors and a 13lb regulator spring. Probably other shit I'm gonna do but I'm off to a great start. I love these 90s GM pickups.

[@jaysgarage3616]

Take a look on the front pad in front of the passenger side cylinder head and look for the suffix code. Look up suffix codes for sbc and see what it was from including the year , sometimes on the rear of the block there will be numbers as well. They can sometimes be difficult to figure out but usually they are there.

And then for some reason right just before you took the crank out some god-awful music took over and your voice disappeared completely. I needed all the info I could get because I need to do the same project for the first time. I was really hoping you were going to rebuild with vortech heads and show me how to do that I have basically the same motor but want to use vortec heads. I'm looking for the rebuild video now but not find it in your channel?

Sorry for the late reply , that is correct , unless you have a good tuner there is not alot you can do to these engines. Many years ago I tried headers , full exhaust (mistake) TBI spacer , pullies , fuel pressure etc and all made a small difference but not enough to warrant the work ,time or money. They are a good engine and will last for several hundred thousand km as is but are limited by the TBI.

This looks like your oil filter is a large one threaded up into the bottom of the engine... Mine goes in from the side, it's a K1500 if that makes a difference but I'm told my engine is a 350 TBI... I've looked for casting numbers, no luck, can't get in an see it...

[@jaysgarage3616]

If the engine was installed in a 4x4 they could have removed the filter and oil filter adapter and installed the adapter for the one like you have and ran the oil filter like that. One of the problems is if there is any debris in the cooler or lines from the engine you replace it could be transferred to the new one , I am doing a swap right now with a cooler adapter and lines and am running this set up. If they clean or replace the rad and lines they can change it back , lots of debris in this one.

Kind of liked the music actually. Mind you I was a rave kid in the late 80s and 90s, and still hit the festivals every summer. In this video the music is such a complete out-of-the-blue surprize that it made me laugh out loud. Also, its a good video, the only thing I would change is that the engine should not have the balancer face the camera, turn it away at a 45 degree angle so we can see what you'redoing.

Thanks for the comments. I do think the positioning could have been better after seeing it.

43:51 I have a set of 191's that are 64cc, mine have a triangle symbol at the valve cover face on the end of the head upper , i'm thinking the 191 came with ether chamber size ?? i think if you want the roller block you have to look for the 5.7 that came from a 1500 series i think the 2500 and 3500 trucks got the flat tappet blocks, id like to hear what others reading my comment have found......

[@jaysgarage3616]

It is interesting hearing what others have seen , maybe some will chime in on their findings.

[@bretthovey5634]

Just wondering how would you go about converting the 350 to fuel injected?

[@JaimeecutzBarberStudio]

Brother. I wish I could fly you out to AZ to redo my engine. The way you know your engine in inspiring. 🙌🏽🙏🏽

Thank you and thanks for watching!!

[@peterdavies4807]

Thanks for uploading. I have just put my 350ci on the stand and am wondering how far I should go with the take down.

[@jaysgarage3616]

Thanks for the reply and thanks for watching!!

I bought a 350 5.7l it's from 69-79 would it work in my 1990 chevy? I know it would need a special intake because the bolts are at a different angle

[@jaysgarage3616]

I believe you would need a flex plate as well without the weight attached , pullies , waterpump , distributor and intake. Good luck on your swap.

[@lannygasaway1883]

Great job. Very informative. Question, did you send the block to the machine shop or just the crank? I didn’t know if it needed line boring or no?

[@jaysgarage3616]

Hi Larry , The engine was sent to the machine shop , Block, Crank , Rods , Heads. I have a 4 part build on this engine if you can see my other videos. Thanks.

[@cooperanderson7767]

32 mm socket fits on the end of the crank

[@jaysgarage3616]

Thanks for the tip!

[@toddodell2904]

Enjoyed it, I own a 91 Chevy C-1500 5.7 that I want to rebuild and add a cam, and vortec heads.

[@jaysgarage3616]

Thanks for the comment Todd and good luck with your build!

[@Person.555]

At 5:10 what is the beige piece above the balancer? I have coolant leaking off mine.

[@jaysgarage3616]

The water pump is above the balancer.

[@Person.555]

@@jaysgarage3616 thanks! I had already figured it out but decided to leave it. I hope I can just change the pump gaskets and leave the intake manifold alone 🤞

[@roninrider1930]

I'd say what 6 different socket sizes for the entire engine teardown?

[@TonyC93]

The hose that you took off first from the valve cover to the throttle body cover, what is it called? TIA

[@jaysgarage3616]

Its the plastic hard tube from the rear driver side valve cover to the Throttle Body/Air cleaner spacer , (crankcase ventilation) and they are no longer available that I know of. I sent my last one to a viewer last year.

[@TonyC93]

@@jaysgarage3616 ooh ok, thank you anyways.
