On the oil pump pick up I cut the spot weld on the tab, spun it around and used the other hole in the pump. But I had to drop the pan to get it off and I have a 4x4 .

[@brentdesautel4070]

Nice work on the 5.3. I have a couple lifters on my 2001 Chevy 1500 LS 5.3 with 218k on her. Did a frame off restoration and it’s time for some engine upgrades. Not like the old days when you didn’t have to pull the heads to replace lifters. Lol! Great job.

[@haitisongs]

Dude, you’re awesome! Can you describe a little more about the dod delete? Thank you so much

[@tinman9341]

Great info! I think I’m gonna have to do this to my Avalanche soon. On start up, you can hear some noise that goes away after a while. By far one of the dumbest creations GM has done. Great work man!!!

[@georgemantzouranis4572]

Been there done that! 👍 Great job. Stay persistent, have confidence. Starter Up. Can't wait to hear the new cam..

[@408SPLKINGS]

Great video, lessons, explanations, camera work...thank you keep up the great videos & good luck with ride

[@CB-sd6kl]

On those style torque wrenches, you want to make sure the plastic handle isn’t touching the bar itself when you are using it. That’s why the handle pivots in the middle.

[@BowerRyan]

Man this is so relaxing

[@banga8080]

We need that 1st start vid nooooow

[@juanlanda2441]

Since the roller lifters are prone to failing and chewing up the cam , this procedure is becoming more common . Might as well go with a cam upgrade 👍

[@formula301]

unfortunately in our country ( the Netherlands ) there are not many tuners who know how to tune the engine after the cam swap. I really wanted the chopacabra, but I can't find a tuner with the confidence for this job.

[@davidconley3610]

I really like the zip tie trick on the oil pump bolt 👍

[@eddieloko89]

Very good video home boy one of the best i seen now its my turn to replace my lifter on my 6.2 yukon gracias

[@victorricolucero]

I’m sorry I thought the clicks in the song were the clicks of the torque wrench 🔧. I was like “wait, wth?” Lol. Good video!

[@benjohnson3700]

this is really good video but just like to tell you that whenever you install rocker arms and push rods, the rocker arm tip on both side should be oiled or greased and push rod should be oil or greased never install dry.

[@chadsmith1413]

Great Video! I like the old school torque wrench.

[@thedobermangang3503]

i havent seen no want use the old torque wrench on yet...you about the frist i seen ..its all good ...nice video my brother.

[@Eha400]

Good video dude!!! Camera not all shaking. Good lighting and voice. I’m about to do mine and u explain very good.

[@jagunn1972]

on that particular timing chain i would recommend changing it due ti the face the i believe is a bit looser so the tensioner style can keep it tight. a basic ls2 chain it a bit tighter or even an older non dod motor

[@gpalacios6850]

Like everyone else has said. Great video brotha! You made that look easy and painless. How’s that tahoe running today? Keep up the great work

[@oam63]

Thanks for good job. Perfect video. It really helped.

[@pegibanez]

Glad you finally put on those black gloves. Take care of hands. 🙏

[@miguelmoreno8718]

Keep up the good work 👍

[@joeethereal2968]

If ya heat up harmonic balancer's crankshaft hub with a torch it'll slide right on.

[@MichaelWittner]

Personally inwoukd have just pulled the engine seems like a lot less work honestly and risk on not dropping something somewhere it shouldn't plus the ease of working on the engine

[@jimflammer9370]

Great videos, great mechanic.

[@opbfitness]

awesome vid...can't wait to hear that cam

[@Speavy89]

Great video dude step by step on everything, after watching it now I’m excited to do it , I have a collapse lifter on the passenger side should I get a a kit and did what you did replace everything including the cam too ?

[@tonybustos2396]

Firmeee.😜that where im at on my 88 chevy 454. Califas

[@aaaahhperojoseluis7434]

Great work bro gonna sound nice!!

[@coupe50h]

Did you do the 90/70 degree angle on the head bolts?

[@codyhusbands1165]

I think I would've pulled the motor and did a complete rebuild if I tore it down that far

[@zu1502]

i wish you would have showed how to use the torque wrench . and also the sitting of the lifters

[@JesusSanchez-bw8ue]

Super informative, appreciate the video dude

[@danielmonkay]

I have to do ssme job on my 2001 suburban 5.3 thanks for the video it really helped me

[@oralwayne7273]

BEAUTIFUL VIDEO MY MY I APPRECIATE YOU BROTHER

[@StanOnDemand]

The exhaust manifold is in the way and can't access the head bolts behind it. Is there something I should do to drop it down so that I can get the clearance to get to the bolts?

[@LyonhartZ2]

Its such a pleasure to see this man work. He is so clean and methodical. Quick question sir, where did you learn how to wrench? (self taught? Military? OTJ? Tech school? Your pops?)

[@GTsPerformance]

Many thanks!🙏🏼 For the most part, everything I know has been self taught. My father passed when I was 13 yrs old, and a good memory I have of him was helping him work on his Ford LTD. I cleaned the carburetor and helped put it back. after hearing that thing start right up, it put a smile on both our faces. I remember him being proud of what we did together, and since then I continued wanting to impress him.

[@josevasquezhidalgo1959]

When installing the valley cover what did you do with the plug in sensor that connected to the old valley cover not the oil pressure sending unit but the plugin sensor next to it

[@noelcardona1468]

Great job man this video 📹 it help me up a lot 👍 👏 😀 🙌

[@marcell5055]

How much to do all this to my truck for me? Bro I’m lost….LoL. You make this looks easy.

[@fernandorobledo2974]

Question for you, with that stage 2 cam you were able to use oem rocker arms and trunions? Or did you upgrade your trunions on OEM rockers ?

[@brandon4278]

Great video 👍👍👍👍

[@lawrence4573]

Great Video!! I want to this on my 2008 Avalanche.

@@GTsPerformance with your cam stage you got little chop or nothing

[@GTsPerformance]

Very little its barely noticeable. Some mornings you can hear it chop big time, but then it settles in and again, barely noticeable. I'm getting a stage 4 high lift soon

[@josebarrera4275]

[@tracymartin4517]

Great video. You keep going to your phone for torque specs. Is there one place you get them or from just anywhere?

[@dannyhyland9748]

Did you eliminate the flex fuel feature by replacing those lifters with different ones?

[@tooflyely85]

Super informative bro..Animo🥊

[@chrisloera3762]

Do the new replacement cam lifters have springs on any of them anymore? I didn’t see the new ones.

[@TF-qs2xt]

awesome bro!!!

[@DELTRANIO99]

Excellent vid ,,How did the cam change work out for you ? Did it lose any bottom end power ? Did you feel a noticeable amount of power from it ?

[@derekwu3256]

Hey thanks for making these videos!

[@donaldmarcella1726]

I thought you did a great job on the Video.

[@Pibs2525]

Any reason why my new timing chain is loose when installing it back with the chain damper that came with the kit?

[@mcnairdn]

What size oring did you use for the oil pick up tube? Did you replace your oil or water pump? I have 160k miles on my truck.

[@charlesbunting1790]

Hope it helped 🙏🏼

[@yerisonoliveros6930]

Good day friend, what camshaft did you install and could you tell me the exact model to install on mine?

[@tannaeros]

wow- you did that without taking the whole engine out.

[@cesarcardiel2985]

Lest get it bro how much was for all the parts

[@illest_evr]

What was your Ft lbs torque sequence? I know it starts at 22lbs but then 90degree and 60degrees but curious on ft lbs numbers

[@randyramos8889]

Nice video did you resurfaced the head or no

[@ram0n_MLP]

What timing chain & sprocket did you go with ? I’m doing a stage 2 btr cam on my 5.3 , but the last piece to the swap is the timing chain & sprocket.

[@falaqr3dd153]

i justy installed a new timing chain and when I torque it down to spec the crankshaft does not move at all and the chain doesn't move, I also have the stock sprocket, any ideas? I have a 2002 6.0 lq4.

[@Eeropolvasti]

How much was the new performance Cam, valve springs??? Thank you =)

[@dibrardodorarbid]

What is that tool you use to torque the bolts

[@rubenvega7728]

Great job Bro 😎 , question? How you calibrated the valves rockers ? Is any method that you can explain me? Thank you Blessings

[@davidsharp922]

Calibrate the rockets? Ls rockers just tighten down. Not adjustable.

[@fernandogodina505]

I have tahoe 2011, the lifter make noise do I need to change just only lifter?

[@dilanturrubiartes2983]

Excuse me, friend, where can I get the torque? Did you use it in all the work?

[@kdwheels8614]

Hello just watched you video…looking do to a vvt delete and stage 2 cam upgrade on a 2007 Escalade 6.2 …is it similar to the 5.3? I am mechanically inclined so I could be done in my garage right?

[@nessar2378]

Link to where you got the parts?

[@thedobermangang3503]

where are your video with you starting it up

[@JuanAguilar-vm9zh]

Hey man it’s been a while but if you don’t mind sharing the part numbers it would be greatly appreciated thanks

[@amandanorman5959]

I'm thinking on ls upgrading my 03 tahoe I've never changed a camshaft but I am mechanically inclined......is it fairly easy for someone that's never done a cam swap

[@Yosoytudueñobebe]

Where do you have your mechanical workshop?

[@Infamous_lml]

Is that a torque wrench or torque angle wrench?

[@jeniffergarcia7393]

So did you put the # 1 piston in top dead center before this or you just need to line up the sprockets?

[@josevasquezhidalgo1959]

Did you ever find out this question? Are you supposed to?

[@coyote2315]

can i use old cam overand just change lifters

[@coreywalshak4721]

Really good video ... appreciate any feedback, about to do the same to my 13 Silverado Did you replace the oil pan gasket? Or no need? Did you loctite the sprocket bolts, harmonic balancer bolt, or head bolts? Or no need?

[@GTsPerformance]

When I did this to my Tahoe, I loosened all the oil pan bolts and it dropped about an inch. That was enough to remove the bolt to the pickup tube, but when everything was all back together. I ended up with a leak from the oil pan. Later, I replaced the pan gasket and found that if I had removed the cross member under the oil pan, it would have made my job a lot easier. It 4 bolts. So I recommend that! You might need to remove a line that goes to the power steering rack to remove the pan. You'll know which one. Yes, loctite is a must. Whatever help you need just ask. I'll try to guide you. Might make some private videos and send you the link.. you got this! 👍

[@jeeps1233]

What ft lbs torque did you give the heads ?
