SHORT BLOCK, LONG STORY - 6.0 LS Rebuild PART 1 - UTX

[@scottc.1325]

This series is the perfect guide for my son and I building our first engine. It's so detailed and useful if anything goes wrong we'll be able to blame you two ;-) Unique presentation too, master mechanic teaching an apparent padawan and not the viewer. Very well done (or should I say, "SWEET!").

[@beaumont9072]

So my project is a 1996 jeep XJ I just pulled the 4.0 out and I have a 6.0 LS that I picked up out of a 2013 Silverado with around 100,000 miles on it screaming eagles but I just tore that apart and about to drop it off at the machine shop as .well, yeah that’s all exciting stuff. I enjoy watching different builders build engines. Thanks for the video peeps. This will be my first engine build, so wish me luck. Somehow I want to try to squeeze 600 horsepowers all motor.

[@DIABOLICOHAVOC]

Simply Amazing!!! I love this channel. This is by far the best LS engine build/swap information on all of you tube. Keep up the good work! By the way, when you send off the engine to the machine shop, is there a standard list of things you have them do to every LS block you send them? I have a complete pull out 6.0 and I want to rebuild it myself. I am mechanically inclined and can follow instructions on assembly like checking tolerance and clearance and things like that, but I have no knowledge beyond that. I'm sure I am not the only in this situation. Maybe you can include this information on your next LS rebuild video. Thanks in advance.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Thanks Mr. Pacino! 🤣 I take the engine block to them with the main caps and the side bolts for the mains. They will clean the block and then measure its cylinders for wear. Most LS blocks that I take in just end up needing deglazed and I can reuse the original pistons with a set of new rings... So keep your original pistons, rods, and caps in order. If it needs bored, they will let me know what the oversize will be and I buy what pistons I like and drop them off to them so it can be bored for those pistons. I also have them install the cam bearings. Some machine shops insist on installing the freeze plug kit themselves, which is fine. Hope this helps you out! If you have any other questions, let us know! Thanks for watching! --Jerry and Emily

Thank you for great content. Can you clarify if the clearance you get after measuring with plastigauge or bore gauge has to be divided by two and then compares to the specs? I can't find this anywhere in the LS Factory Service Manual.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Sorry to just respond. Yes. That is very confusing. You are measuring the entire clearance with that plasti gauge and then dividing by two with the crank sitting on a dry bearing. Jerry

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Hey Mikhail, I re read this, and I worded my answer wrong. You do NOT divide it by 2. We have another video coming up and I will explain that better. Sorry for the confusion. Jerry

You mentioned you hydro locked your last 6.0. It wasn't from using to much pre lube was it? To much of anything can be bad.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

No, that was this same engine. It had a leaky fuel injector and filled a cylinder with fuel, and hydrolocked on start up. We've been accused of too much lube, but have never had an issue. Thanks for watching and commenting.

[@OakLawnSpeedShop]

Yup

[@Clappedoutprojects]

Do you have to rebalance the crank shaft on the lq4 if you upgrade to gen 4 pistons and rods will the weight difference throw it off ? Thanks and good content

[@UglyTruckExperience]

It all depends on what you buy for rods and pistons. I am converting a Lq4 to a Lq9 right now and am changing to floating pins with flat top pistons that are heavier. I have the machine shop weigh them and do the math for me. I just trust their knowledge over my math skills. In the case of the one I'm doing now, I do have to have the crank balanced.

I found your channel a few days ago looking for C10 LS swap info. It was cool to find out you are in my neck of the woods. I'm currently tearing down an lm7 and was wondering if you'd be willing to share which machine shop you used? I totally understand if you would prefer not to. Choosing a machine shop is always the most stressful part of a build for me.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

We use Oriellys machine shop. They do good work. It takes forever but that is usually the case with any. They are close to our place also which is nice. Thanks. Jerry

[@__emmanwell__]

I have 5.3 bored to 5.7, with domed pistons, and mild cam, and I want to use an F-body oil pan but I was wondering if the pump you are using would work or if I should go with a Melling high performance 10296

[@UglyTruckExperience]

That high performance pump is pretty much the same as the regular m295hv. The performance one is a bit shorter, comes with a few different springs for pressure and has a anodized front cover for some reason. If you are going with stock pressure you might want to save the money and just get the regular HV pump. Thanks. Jerry

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Hello Jundug. I submerse them in oil and give them a few rotations before putting them on. Then torque them down. Having a film of oil between all the surfaces would help to center it. GM procedure is to just throw it on and torque it down. Jerry

Painted! Always looks badass when an engine swap is paint detailed, and wiring done right and clean. Wish I was building one already! Nice job guys. Did your machine shop do anything to the heads? You said you’re gonna look at them, so I’m guessing the machine shop only gets them if you find a flaw. I always send heads in to get a fresh valve job and valve guides(if needed) when doing Aircooled VW or Subaru builds. Just curious…

[@UglyTruckExperience]

The paint does look sweet! We had the machine shop clean and check these heads for cracks, and then resurface them. We'll have a video out shortly installing new valve guide seals, removing broken exhaust bolts, and getting them ready to bolt onto the engine. How's your knee?

Jerry like your channel sir just wanted to know the bolt you're using for the engine stand what size is it

[@jahcousteauu_STAYinSHAPE]

I’m rebuilding my engine for a high horsepower application, swapping a 1500 Silverado Classic into my Chevy trailblazer Lt both vehicles are the same year, and both vehicles are 2wd, should i get my 482 crank polished or should i be swapping the crank out as well for an upgrade? I’m going with a power adder (turbo) so ring gap, new pistons, arp studs, new lifters, rockers, trays, and a aggressive Brian Tooley truck Norris stage two cam, double springs, upgraded injectors do i need an upgraded fuel pump? So my question is upgrade my fuel pump? And or upgrade my crank shaft?

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Hello Jah. The crank would depend on its condition. If you have a good machine shop that would measure it up and give you their expert advice that would be nice. If there is any doubt, I would replace it. Replacing the crank will also mean having to have it balanced. You will definitely need a higher flow fuel pump with that turbo and bigger injectors. Will be a quick trailblazer for sure. Jerry

[@jahcousteauu_STAYinSHAPE]

@@UglyTruckExperience oh I was asking about the fuel pump because I just put a brand new fuel pump in there and also had my transmission built, so right now I just need my engine rebuilt, both top and bottom and a turbo to add more power. but you’re saying if I upgrade my fuel injectors, I will definitely have to upgrade my fuel pump right away or can that wait till later down the line?

[@UglyTruckExperience]

It would just depend on what the rate of flow of the fuel pump you installed. Would depend on how much you are going to put your foot into it. Wouldn't want to run a turbocharged motor to lean. You would probably want to ask the person that will be tuning it. Jerry

You mentioned that the minimum gap for ring 1 should be about .012 & about .020 for ring 2. Is there a maximum gap? I’m currently building a lq4 and so far cylinder 1 had a gap of .025 for ring 1 and .023 for ring 2. What should I do just so that I won’t worry about messing anything up 😅

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Alldata says the maximum gap for ring number 1 would be .020 and .030 for the second ring. What year engine is this?

[@jaimebedoy]

@@UglyTruckExperience Honestly I couldn’t tell you which year it is because the engine was a core so I’m not sure what vehicle it came out of. I just know it’s a lq4 because it has dished pistons.

Most likely it will need to be tuned for that motor. You basically built a lq9 it sounds like. I wanted to do that on these but did not want to mess with tuning them. Let me know how it turns out.

OLA. Porto Alegre RS BR 09/01/24 Meus parabéns pelo carinho e competência que tratas os motores. O que percebi que provavelmente não está correto é o sistema de lubrificação deste motor. As Bronzinas de Mancais montadas não combinam com o restante do sistema de lubrificação. As bronzinas de Biela devem receber óleo de forma permanente e para que isso ocorra não vi o furo de lado a lado que deveria ter no Virabrequim, na posição mancal que permite a lubrificação permanente da biela. Na presente montagem a BB recebe somente 50% do óleo que devia receber.

Did Jerry bump his head pulling one of those 6.0l's. Everybody knows aliens don't have hair! Lol!

[@UglyTruckExperience]

I'm pretty sure the female aliens do. I have one of them trapped in the office right now editing our next video.

[@SOLDOZER]

You did not degree the camshaft. Or did you not show it?

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Did not degree cam. It is its original crank with stock cam. Thanks for commenting. Jerry

What brand of bearings do you use?

[@UglyTruckExperience]

In this motor I used Seal Power, all aluminum bearings. I will also use Genuine Gm on occasion and Mahle/Clevite. Have had no issues with any of these. Thank. Jerry

[@jasonbunting5361]

The alien conversation had me laughing! I'm just wondering if the "Corns" unit of measure started after Roswell? Great detail on the video.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Thanks Jason. That is a great question. The corns unit of measuring might be the next step for them to get here. Thanks for the insight. Jerry

[@jasonbunting5361]

@@UglyTruckExperience I noticed there was no locktite added to the bolts on the cam plate, oil pump, cam sprocket, is this what GM did...does locktite matter? I'm not a mechanic and trying to learn. Thank you for the videos, I'm just asking a question, not being critical.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

These didn't have anything on them when I took them out. The cam plates on VVT engines are locktited, but the sprocket and oil pump bolts never are. My practice is, if it has locktite when I take it apart, I locktite it when I put it back. Thanks for your question! This is exactly why we started this channel. 👍

[@jasonbunting5361]

@@UglyTruckExperience Thanks for the answer! Also, thanks for the tip on extracting broken exhaust bolt w broken off drill bit in the broken bolt. I got it out!!! I'm looking forward to your next video on the heads :) This is a great channel. Thanks again.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Awesome! Glad it worked! 👍👍

@@UglyTruckExperience sorry if I came across the wrong way. I just found it distracting from your drop of knowledge… almost like there’s more in there that I want to hear! My regards.

[@UglyTruckExperience]

Thanks Curtis. There is definitely more in there. As we have been doing this we are getting a bit more comfortable talking into a camera and we always try to be improving. So, we really do appreciate hearing anything about our content whether it is good or bad. Thanks. Jerry
