So refreshing seeing someone on KZbin that knows what they are doing..

[@johnpittman7928]

Like he said both are good but I do prefer when you narrate it as you go and show up close without music. Seems more educational to me and easier to follow

[@bradleylovej]

I agree with this

[@ryanscanlan9875]

Love a good engine build. I personally enjoy the finicky little tricks when it comes to clearances and assembly. The little things that when aren't done right, can ruin a build.. That helps us novices big time!

[@Dwrecksk8Yo]

When you narrated it while you were building last time was awesome

[@edibalian]

So awesome to watch him put this engine together!

[@jessiecastille204]

I love watching your videos. Eventually i will have an LS engine for my 80 Camaro. I would really like to see you build and engine and then let us hear one of them running. I hope to see that soon. I am new to your channel, and love it!!

[@Shoptoolreviews]

Great video! 👍

[@3gunshooter60]

I like this style and I prefer the engine build videos. Keep up the good work

[@karanadon137]

I like both styles. Go back and forth, depending on what you're doing.

[@jeffburcham2706]

I’m a detail guy, always like going that way with things thx,great stuff

[@bombombimbim440]

Ls3 is very famous and legends!!!!! It's wins many racing and easy to put any turbos or charged on it...

[@expatconn7242]

For those who already know what your doing hi speed vid is great.. for those who don’t have a clue what your doing it sucks but looks cool. I want to see more on that crank pulley installer .. trick tool Never seen 1 before. I’m trying to find out more info on where you found those ls3 roller rockers . Nice set up . Like to see what it would cost for my LM7 .

[@lit549]

Also id like to recommend a product, and you may already know of this stuff. Eastwood Ceramic engine paint is some great engine paint, works best with an epoxy primer base. Super easy to work with also..

[@lit549]

I wouldnt ever critique your videos but since you asked for opinions.. I like the editing how you do it, either way is great. I REALLY like the time lapse with no music, as you can hear every little sound of what you are working on, which is different than most edits. BUT, the music playing with time lapse isnt bad either! Maybe a mix of both? I know its time consuming editing these vids, and you do great videos👍

[@patrickwendling6759]

Thank you

[@lures]

love to have that motor in my 68 chevelle

[@baylymiley]

How about a video on tools, I catch it sometimes, just bought micrometers and bore dial gauge this week. I need a torque wrench next.

[@jasonnash2691]

Great engine builder

[@JacobVillemain]

Thank you

[@marior9077]

I wanna do something similar but 13.0:1 compression with some good flowing heads and biggest cam i can go with

[@thomaslapointe4671]

Awesome Videos, Content & Both Ways How would you Mod Factory L94 for Torque to Move an 80's Series Land Cruiser Swap? Stroke it to 416 ? Where the Machine Shop Located ?

[@23steph13]

Nice build! What torque wrench do you use? Is it torque and angle?

[@antwuanwashington6978]

Great engine build! How much torque is the engine making and a what RPM? Thanks in advance!

[@CaptainMorgan524]

great video i got a 6.0 im wanting to have built to a 6.2 where are you guys located it would be awesome to have you do the build for me

[@kelsiabbott3060]

What is the best way for me to get a hold of you regarding having one of my engines done

[@jeremyl4600]

What are you using to clean the carbon off the pistons?

[@rubencarrillo2831]

What brand of piston rings are they? Do you have a part number by any chance? Thanks

[@lauroguerra732]

What cam did you run on that motor man?

[@ormondscott191]

Does the torque specs change from N/A to boosted on a LS engine

[@dariogonzalez6249]

👍& Subscribed.

[@jamariowalker9688]

Info on that balancer installer

[@FDG.ISMAEL]

👏👏👏🔥🔥

[@ReDDaWn556]

What engine pint is that?

[@onthegrindtv5363]

What heads are you using?

[@fasteddie7273]

Did you the stock main bolts ?

[@dustinhaseloff571]

I actually bought the car that has this motor in it few weeks back. In your opinion would you be able to throw a 200shot on it with the cylinder walls being this thin?

[@JacobVillemain]

Message me on Instagram

[@ronnyrojas4247]

Curious on your thoughts putting ls3 heads on a ls2 bottom end. What would you recommend?

[@HoldenGuyTL]

Factory L76/L77 has LS3 style rec ports on a 6.0 bottom end.

[@ziggyc4474]

Why hone bigger boss?

[@jamessteffen09]

Is there a reason you used two different size bearings on the rods? Being a machinist for over 10 years....., i know that throws those bearing clearances out of round right off the bat.... I'm currently building the same style motor but for my 6th gen camaro. If you twist that dial bore gauge 90* either direction from straight up and down with two different size bearings in the journal, it wont read the same. At the point were those bearings meet, there will be a difference in size and it wont wear correctly and have oil pressure issues. Great video and build, i just dont understand why you didnt use the correct size bearings to get the correct tolerance.

[@smh9417]

I need you to build my LS3

[@tukanxx]

what is the approximate labor cost of rebuilding such an engine?

[@GrandPitoVic]

Where are you out of?

[@tholtouch2325]

How much does it cost

[@wsnapper3377]

Curious what weight engine oil will you use?

[@JacobVillemain]

5-30

[@diaa_Alhamad_1]

Please build the engine with the instructions and all the fittings

[@raymondvillasenor199]

What do you torque the rockers down to?

[@JacobVillemain]

Usually do 20# with stock 10.9 fasteners.

[@davidreed6070]

Is it safe to bore a 6 liter 70 thou and make big power without cylinder bores distorting. How much power is safe.

[@JacobVillemain]

No issues for naturally aspirated hp. I wouldn’t do it on a power adder engine though

[@rickyhuneycutt1079]

Narrate , it gives more info and also helps to understand what your doing and why you did it the way you did

[@devendavidoff]

How did you get the carbon off?

[@HoldenGuyTL]

Berryman b-12 works great

[@luiscastro5437]

Do u guys sell engines aswell?

[@JacobVillemain]

Yes, smedingperformance.com

[@georgioocean7629]

Those are the cheapest heads gaskets off of eBay I wasn’t too sure they were good quality

[@rickyf280zx]

Are you located somewhere close to San Antonio Have some questions for my build

[@421ssrida]

They are right outside of SA

[@maxbell6237]

So it doesn’t need lifters….? 🤔

[@popatop6657]

Please convince me that it is ok to mix bearing sizes, Seems like that would egg shape things instead of keeping them round.

[@9ballz]

Silly question. When you take a 6.0 block and bore it out you call it a LS3. I guess what's confusing to me is does the 6.0 actually become an LS3? I mean is the block now exactly the same as an LS3?

[@Dookamonnnn]

Yeah pretty much

[@dennisz494]

I believe the only difference is the bore size but not sure. If it is not the same then the LS3 would have to be a few mm longer than the LS2. I know that not all LS blocks are the same as you can not bore an LS3 into an LS7 or the walls between cyclinders would be too thin. You can bore it and add stroke but that is the only way you can make a 6.2 into a 7.0, so the same might be said for the length of the block of a 6.0. @@Dookamonnnn

[@bigal50239]

Where can I get you to build me an engine

[@boduke2299]

Any part numbers on pistons and camshaft thanks

[@petejoseph8257]

Ford blue LS3. Going in a Mustang?

[@HoldenGuyTL]

Went in a C5 vette

[@freddymenchaca6133]

What lifters did you use??

[@dennisz494]

Probably Johnson

[@jimstover6747]

What brand rods where they?

[@JacobVillemain]

Smeding Performance smedingperformance.com/products/connecting-rods?variant=39309326778426

[@hadiq8965]

i really dont get why you install 2 bearings sizes ,,,, it will affect the crank shaft becuz its almost perfect circle

[@dennisz494]

where is part one. I am about to rebuild my LS3, and 600 HP is fine as it will be a regular driver with high performance parts. I don't want any stock Dodge chargers beating me.

[@flaco2746]

I would slow the Timelapse down a little

[@d-one-and-only]

600 horse? How did you get 600 horse out of an LS3 block NA?

[@JacobVillemain]

By building it right 👌🏼

[@jackdaniels2657]

If he didn't clean the carbon off the piston he would've had more power Tha carbon on the tip of the piston raises the compression ratio

[@josephnubile1970]

live is always better..

[@beaumont9072]

America 🇺🇸 💪🏼🤙🏼🔧🔩

[@Foxtrot1967]

Steve Morris got nothing on you, lol

[@xxihasxx]

Your to young to be building high performance engines, it will fail..
