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

Love your videos ❤

Awesome video ❤

Outstanding step by step video. Great work!

Also, do you not need to gap the bottom two thinner rings?

plastic guage reading is 'total clearance'

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. Conforme mudam os sistemas de lubrificação também mudam diversas características no bronzinamento de Biela e Mancais e as vezes até os pistões. ABRAÇOS... Roberto Udo Krapf

My 1st time ever commenting on any show but she's funny and your teaching Babygirl well...Love you guy's Reggie

Thi video s single handedly ruined the word "ok" and it's variants for me. Mmmkay k. Ok? Mmmkay.

Yep!

Kindly said. It’s hard to watch because the Yup every sentence directly into the microphone. After awhile I just couldn’t hear anything else and I wanted to get the information your sharing. I just think there’s an opportunity here to grow and satisfy the audience because you’re preaching the LS Gospel but my brain is being tested at the same time.

great video....very informative. This may be a dumb "?" but does the plastic lifter tray that you used to install the lifters,... does that actually stay in the motor?

Even the tiniest torque cam is going to give you 30hp. Cams that add 60-70 hp are extremely street able. Sorry this build gets a Big L.

I have a new HV oil pump? Does it have to be shimmed? Or i can just put it on. It’s not melling or anything special.

Thank you guys for doing this for us and helping us get better and understand more about this engine rebuilds, I personally love the interaction you guys have and the way you give information at the same time, I will definitely will be watching more of your videos and thank you again….

Great video

i have watched 2 dozen 6.0 builds and this is the best i have seen. great job, thank you.

Can't get any better then a small block 6.0L LS w/ LQ4 Cam.

"What do you think ill do now?" Spray it some more?... 😂

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

u deserves more views guys !!!

I just picked up a 2002 6.0 from the machine shop. Thought they were assembling it. lol. But I am. Following you step by step.

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!").

A while build thanks yall rock❤💪🏾
Changing me pistons heads not the rods on 5.3 do you think i need to change the crankshaft

Hey how you guys doin
Want prime my motor for oil what was that toy he made & u have a link or anywhere i can get it

okay.

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.

Part number for hardware would help

I almost quit watching after the 20th yep.

Awesome job by you both. Have a 2004 GMC Yukon 6.0 . Need to do mine. Can you recommend parts to do the rebuild?

Yep 100% calling the plastigage alien hair from now on 🤣

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

Did you use loctite on the thrust plate bolts?

Yup

Yup

Yup

Yup

And yup

Yup

Cool

Yup

I love your videos, so informative and easy to follow along

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?

I have seen to much lube cost an engine. Prime example here

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.

Someone put a piece of tape over the filmers mouth please. Gosh dang

Great build! K

Can someone help me understand this piston ring gap ? This video shows the top ring gap minimum at : .012 for a 4.000 bore ? It also is saying ; .020 for second ring ?
From several sources, including Hastings, the ring gaps on an ls lq4 6.0 with a stock 4.000 bore should be: bore-4.000x.004= 0.016
The second ring should be ; bore-4.000 x .0045=0.018 It is not making sense to me.
Plus, the rings I took out of my 2001 lq4 6.0 were in the range of 0.25 - 0.28 , weird ! The block does not need bored, it checks out, so I am installing standard rings, but I do not want to screw this up, too ways to go on this. What is standard ? Thanks .

Is the main bearing bolt reused or new?

If I missed it, I apologize. Did you have the rotating assembly balanced?
