Bro made this shit look so quick & easy, i thought hey its a 47 minute video this should take me no more than 4-6 hours & here i am 10 hours in just getting the heads off, everything's been done the right way so far though & its all thanks to this vid

Man this is the only video I could find where they don’t time lapse the actual tear down and assembly, very in depth. I’m bookmarking this for when my cam comes in 💯💪🏽

[@RyGuy98_]

Bro really took apart the whole engine with one hand!!! THANK YOU SIR! Great video!

[@harry_outside]

One of the best DIY videos on YT!! 👍🏾👍🏾 straight forward no steps skipped

[@toranowatson7551]

Only 1 step missed.... Installing the harmonic balancer b4 tightening the timing cover bolts. Leave the bolts loose to allow the harmonic b oil Seal to center around the balancer then tighten timing cover. This helps to prevent leaks prematurely

[@Choppedtudor]

No one bolt torqued !!! And air hammered crank shaft for 5 sec then pulley in one spot!!! But for the most part very helpful that anyone can do it !!

[@chrismacphersom3258]

Nicely done man. I can't express how much this really helps. Bout to do this in the driveway and just seeing the specialty tools really helps.

Excellent job! Absolutely the best how to for an LS cam swap project. My parts are on order and I will definitely have this on the iPad sitting in the fender well while I do the swap.

Bruhhhhh u did that like u was teaching a class. 🔥🔥🔥👍🏻👍🏻🔥👍🏻👍🏻🔥

[@user-gh6dj8oy2l]

Great vid, thanks for posting. It's been a while since I've torn an engine down, to bare block, and this brought back good memories. I've been thinking about camming my 5.3 sierra, you might have just pushed me over the fence. Thanks bud, appreciate all you put into this.

[@ZENJOYSHORTs]

this was great to watch i watched it then installed my cam kit iover the weekend!!

[@wadebennett7447]

Best one I've seen yet. The only thing I disagree with is the crank pulley install. Otherwise very good video. Keep up the good work.

[@mikeharo3528]

Nevermind the angle grinder to the head

[@wellthatdidntwork]

Both of those methods are super sketch but good job other than that bro.

[@davidkirchner579]

yea only prob i thought of was the air hammer the thrust washer lol

[@drewpazzi]

i usually do radiator and water pump first before i start anything up top that could leak down into the engine i dont want

Very well Done buddy. I thought this video would be filled w distractions like the funny ROOSTER. Fun & made to watch. Great job. Please do a video on how to truly set top dead center some day or direct us to a current video u have on that subject. Thx again

[@ArmenArmenjs]

interesting video, love the balancer put back lol Many important sequences for heads, rockers, front seal, torques for put back was omitted.

Great job bro , very well explained, great camera views 🙏🏾👍🏾

[@dechaungray7525]

Like the way he broke EVERYTHANG down to the point that it's idiot proof😂😂 bout to tackle the task..thanks.

[@tripleeathletics]

Sorry Bro, But there’s no excuse for not removing that broken exhaust manifold bolt, especially when you had the cylinder heads off. You could’ve easily dealt with it then. I’ve removed hundreds while they’re still on the vehicle, and many of them in the very back (which isn’t the easiest) especially on the drivers side. Other than that, great video and very informative for those that aren’t mechanically inclined. I should mention, I don’t mean anything I said with malice, Just saying there was a perfect opportunity to deal with that bolt while the cylinder heads were off. My guess is that like most of us do, you were pushing trying to get it back together and didn’t think about it until it was too late… Right? 😂 Haha!

[@AlexanderRodriguez-pk4cg]

I wish you had the torque specification for every boats that you install other then that great video

[@Mid-Michigan-Outdoors]

tighten her with an impact and call it a day. (kidding ofc) usually you can find that stuff for the specific part, just takes a little while to do if you have a bunch of parts.

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

Damn son.... You made that looks easy. Wish me luck !

[@osoquanrunnit4372]

How'd it go

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

@@osoquanrunnit4372 It did not go as smoothly as his did. I took my time, and took some pictures for reference, but I still fought it. It's back together and runs good. But I would definitely let someone else do it for me if I was to do it again.

[@LSCBTHEWAVY]

What I appreciate is you show the things that people don't like "oh this clip right here is pose to be just like this" like dawg u a real one and u did this in great detail ima come back to this video when I need it for mine I got a salvage youkon for 800 and it got front end damage the engine is fine but the rad and the peice that holds the rad is fucked definitely need new side panels on the front and a new grill and bumper but it's cool tho because the biggest bonus with this car it has all the wire for a big music system already installed so I definitely will make the most out of this car I do love it alot

Great video. It sounds amazing! Two questions, what cam kit and do you have to take heads off do this job.

[@moneda8]

excelente trabajo, y la forma de explicar, me gusto mucho, gracias por compartir tus conocimientos, te mando un saludo desde tijuana

[@TorqueLabPerformance]

Very good video dude. I’m confused on why the idle wasn’t more of a clean chop. Is that due to needing tuned after cam install?

[@chriscadman5715]

Nice job! So tell me, how do you fix the high lift cam making the engine run rich?

[@mulletmike7267]

dont even think about putting up a gen 4 cam swap video or i might get a little ballsy and try mine out 😂 good video man 💪🏻

[@slicksloth_416]

Pretty much the same thing only addition you would be doing is deleting DOD and changing the dod lifters they also come with a timing chain tensioner that also needs to be replaced.

[@DeathsTacoIsHere]

they’re pretty much the same like that guy said ^

[@juanromero1103]

Helped my uncle with his cam swap and had to take his oil pump off too had hard time trying to take that bolt off bottom of oil pump😂

[@johnhenry3820]

Everyone asking about a tune. Yes it needs to be tuned to get the most power out of it.

[@jeniffergarcia7393]

So to take cam out and put new one in you don’t have to be at top dead center up until assembly??

[@ethanstearns7384]

So is tuning afterwards not necessary at all?

[@808kahulaa]

old 350 cast cams would crack into pieces if thrown, glad to see chevy making better paperweights 28:40

[@codydonovan7356]

the fact that you took an impact to those manifold bolts gave me anxiety haha. How did none of them break?

Gonna do this once I have a house and motorcycle

[@nicholastyson5095]

AWESOME video!!! Best one I’ve seen. Thank you for this

[@petehenderson]

The heads or intake does not have to be removed for the cam to be replaced . It's designed that way .

[@jackstandbuilds]

To do the lifters, it does. Why wouldn’t you replace old and worn out lifters

[@guillermolomeli-gomez1458]

This video is the best of the best, very specific thanks

[@terencecooper4573]

How did you get it tuned

[@dickdefilade1058]

On your next cam swap, can you do a how-to on setting the rocker arms/valve lash? What cam was installed in this video? Good job!

[@jackstandbuilds]

Heck yeah sure! There’s really not much to it! I make sure the pushrods are pushed down and tighten them to specs. They’re different than older sbc sbf cause you can just tighten them!

[@jackstandbuilds]

Also a stage 2 summit truck cam!

[@codydonovan7356]

I would've cleaned up the engine some and added headers while you had it all apart. Nice thorough video though!

[@firemanmfd]

You didnt have to pull the heads. Use dowel rods to keep the lifters in place.

Hey bo howd you get the ones underneath the manifold that hold the heads on. Mines a gen 3 lm7 ls. You just pry it out cuz there is play with the manifold. But my oil dipstick tuble laces through the manifold and i think i just yank that out right?
