How to build a LS 383 from a 5.3 part 5 installing (camshaft, timing set and oil pump)

installing camshaft and timing set
shimming oil pump

The KZbin algorithm pleasantly surprised me with this video. I'm currently doin a refresh on my gen 1 383. Wanted to check out the insides after 2000 miles and everything is perfect. So currently I have engines on my mind. The tone and pacing of this video took me back to when I learned engine building. A beautifully paced and simple visual instruction of what it's like. Simply cannot wait to see the finished block.

You can get a stroker kit for just about any engine What did you have in mind?

[@juanclemons1492]

what did you put the filler inside the water pump

[@Slicpartna]

I don't understand your question

[@juanclemons1492]

@@Slicpartna what was the reason to put the spacers around the crank when you tightened the oil pump down

[@Slicpartna]

@@juanclemons1492 oh ok ok I used the feeler gauges to equally space the oil pump on the crank so there isn't any pre-mature wear in the oil pump. Let me know if you have any other questions
