Great video... That's for putting this together...

Thanks for sharing, I’m rebuilding one too. About the same situation, mine is still a bare block on the stand. Machine shops backlog is 3 months....

Nice to see some progress! I'm looking forward to seeing more. I know your already spending a lot of cash on it, but I do really recommend the fluid damper... the new OEM style ones just dont last long at all. And there what brakes cranks... great video, take care! Oh and I would love to see an unboxing and close up overview of the promaxx heads if you can. Thanks!

Nice build bro! If you can save the money, I highly recommend a fluidamper....did wonders for my 6.2 !

You should have turned that engine stand over and put that camshaft in vertical. I heard too much metal clanging. Putting the cam in vertical eliminates that. But it is a great video. And I wonder if he was going to put that cam in the way I thought you were going to do you did

Im delaying doing this same work for a surplus humvee.

I know the price tag sucks, but don't skimp on the harmonic balancer. Get a fluid dampner or plan on changing both the balancers every 40,000 -50,000 miles. My second motor just broke the crank because of the harmonic balancer failing. Also the second motor had a scat crank.

Did you change block or did they fix cracks

I need spare parts so when I build my engine. Any of that forsale in case I need any ?

Im about to do this on my 96. Where did you get those oilers? Didn't even think about that

Do all blocks crack I got a 97 motor from my parts truck guy claimed he put a rod through the oil pan. Now unless I'm blind or was missed diagnosed the pan looks normal to me. I want to take the motor appart and completely rebuilt it everything new except the block. Unless GM still sells new replacements I'd go that route instead and studd it.

Where did you order your oil bypass valves from?

What ya doing with the old pistons

What happen if you don't install the oil spreader????

You should have tilted that motor back and dropped that Cam in vertical clinging and banging out bearings May have low all pressure

Buy an 8.1 and scrap it ! 6.2/ 6.5 biggest junks ive ever seen ive got 5000 into a truck and 5000 into the 6.5 and it wont even fire ! Junk junk junk
