Bag and tag is SO important. I pulled an entire Chevelle apart that way. No way it would have gone back together well without many layers of labeled bags of bolts, clips, and parts.

Yes sir there are a lot of parts to an automobile and we have all at one time or another have fallen prey to this problem. Automobiles come down the assembly line and it is quite the involved process, and you have many sections of rebuilding the individual powertrain parts but I do not think that there is any automobile manufacturer that remanufactures the entire vehicle. It is cheaper in the long run for manufacturers to build vehicles new rather than recycle the whole car. With our computer machines we have nowadays if we put forth the effort we can conserve a lot of information which will come in handy for reassembly.

The LS platform is hands down the easiest engine to learn on. Best of luck homie! Glad I could help, and thank you for watching!

It set me back farther because I had to save more money and wait for a reasonable price. I definitely think it was worth it though.

Our local pickapart yard has a 30 day warranty and they allow you to take the engine down to inspect it before you pay for it. Make sure it rotates and drop the pan first!

@@ChadLisonbee If I only have the money! Every now and then they'll text me a 20% or 40% off coupon! That's how I got my 454 for $175 ! The only negative is that buying a long block, you just get the block and heads only, no accessories or bolt ons !

I am not planning on getting an LS motor in the foreseeable future, but even before I saw this video I was thinking I would tear the heads and oil pan off before I bought the engine. I surely don't want to buy a shit engine.

Sorry if it’s a dumb question. But anybody got any tips for inspecting an engine at a junkyard ? Like what are the main things I should look for when picking one out ?
@ChadLisonbee
@ChadLisonbee Жыл бұрын
Make sure it turns over with a breaker bar, and the vehicle has been in a legitimate collision. If the vehicle ran when it was hit, there a high probability it’s still good. Nothing is 100% (as you can see in this video) but that’s going to give you the highest possible success rate.

Well sir it is a crap shoot with used engines. I would surmise that when one sees all that gunk down in the oil pan one would be prepared for the worst. A lot of people would take this engine and go through the work to install it only to find out that the engine will have to come back out for major work. So we have a decision to make up front. If we are converting to an LS swap the work that has to be done for that conversion has to be done. If we also disassemble the engine to get an idea of what has to be done to make it reliable we will see just what is required to have that reliable engine. I see from some of the comments that some wrecking yards (excuse me recycling yards) will allow an engine to be returned if found to be unsatisfactory. Also as a repair shop I would not guarantee any used engine that comes from a wrecking yard anyway as I am not compensated for my time either in inspection or installation. I would tell customers that it is so much for inspection and so much for installation and if the engine has any problems then it is so much for R&R and inspection for the next used engine. I would do the same for radiators (back in the 70's). You bring me a used radiator and it is R&R for every used junk radiator you bring me. Of course if I see any item that is obviously unusable then I would advise the customer. The biggest problem here is as a repair shop I am interested in getting vehicles repaired and not having vehicles becoming naturalized citizens in my shop. But that is another show. The bottom line here is any used engine unless you know the engine or the person selling you the engine that is a crap shoot.
