Rhino Laws sloppy mechanics inspired me to do a cam swap on my first car! Granted i shouldve used a lil more torque wrenching instead of impact gunning becos i sheared my cam bolts off and cost myself a new rotating assembly, but i sure had fun doing it! Lessons learned right? 😂 Loctite on cam bolts rtv on oil pans and other than that have fun

if you only knew what race teams do(really any power sport) if you need an engine QUICK...and only need it to last 5 laps.....or two 1/4 mile passes.......ya dont even need a tourque wrench. ive drilled holes in 350 heads to make them 400 heads....with a hand drill...... ive used a steering wheel puller to pull flywheels and split motorcycle cases open.... their are a few simple principals to follow.... the rest of the "rules" can be bent

Nice job. You're getting quick at this. I've liked the past 3 or 4 vids of this tear down and reassembly. Hopefully that new timing chain and new rings will fix the issue you were having. Can't wait to find out.

first time ive seen a "bare" LS block.......they DID fix the gaskets lol my 400 in my truck....i dont change the oil on....between the valve covers and the rear main....all i have to do is keep it topped off and change the oil filter lol.

All these timing chain people are nuts! that motor free wheeled by flicking the flexplate. New rings,quick hone, YOUR PROBLEM IS SOLVED! that turd is gonna make 1018RWHP calling it!! remember me matt if Im right I at least earned a sticker! lol keep up the vids !!

No reason it should not run fine. Loose chain just retards cam timing which moves peak toque to a higher rpm but not enough for most people to even notice the difference. Plenty tough for one to get loose enough to jump a tooth,i have taken motors apart that had oem plastic upper gears and most of the plastic was in the pan and the chain hadnt slipped.

paint marker works great to mark which ones you torqued already.

Thanks for the great video. I keep hearing on these other folks' videos too things and terms which leads me to ask the following: now, what is lapping? What is porting? What is ring gapping? What is deck height and what is its relevance to piston seating? And why does it matter to put rockers and pushrods back in the same order or exact place in the engine that they originally were? Are they not all the same sizes or lengths?

not sure but did you align up the oil pump on the crank? never seen it done like that before,,

Never put thread lock on the bolt! Put it in the hole, if you put it on the bolt it winds back up the thread and stops what you are tightening having a metal to metal face/seal together. Put it in the hole and it works down the full thread 💪

When it comes to rtv, everyone knows 'the bigger the glob the better the job'

you are a machine matt!

He's the boss..... Of the leaves 😂

intake valve seat pressure high enough to deal with 20+ psi?

+Sloppy Mechanics-Did you blow out the head bolt holes this time? I'm wondering if this is what caused your erratic torque readings. Can't tell from your video edit

Do you do anything special to keep the engine stand from moving about? I always have hard time keeping it from moving when torquing anything and yours doesn't seem to move very much.

Every ls timing chain I've had dealing with has looked like that gen 4 timing setup has a tensioner on the timing chain

This guy doesn't even use spit! Raw and dry haha 😆

Nice @felprogaskets water pump gaskets!

"you're all going to hell" that shit made me LOL!

Hell yeah, loved the your all going hell comment if the timing chain breaks. Was kind of hopeing you would find TDC with heads off and mark the balancer with heads off. but hey this is sloppy mechinacs so it's all good enough for entertaining me.

I have a 2002 5.3 I’m putting new bolts in my main and heads what’s a good foot pound to torque those too

Hey mate love the vids and glad to see you have got it back together so quick. I hope that I'm wrong but I haven't seen anything that's going to cause your power issues, I have made a couple of comments along the way but it is my firm belief that the issue must be control related, the amounts of power missing is far too great for it to be bad rings, If the rings were at fault you would have blown every seal out of the motor. Happy to be wrong and at the pace you are moving it won't be long till we find out

The old white marker pen is the best way to keep up to where you're at.

How's your oil pressure since you were saying some of your rod bearings in the back were loose? Maybe the high mile cam bearings are causing more wear on the rod bearings now.

In debate, should I or should I not dingleball hone my spare engines. 5.3s gen 4 rods. 160k miles each. Rings gapped to .032 for boost. Votes?

ive learnd from having to torque bolts many times is mark the bolt with a crayon after you have torqued them an then u wont miss any at all

What do you Torque the mains to?

Should be careful spraying lube into the blind bolt holes. You can get a hydraulic effect between the bottom of the hole and the bolt and can get an inaccurate torque reading. Do you ever put sealant on the head gaskets when you re-use them? Great channel by the way.

I give you credit bro I would have never owned up to that one. LOL...

Lots of slop is on the original million mile cam and crank gears as well. In the non-sloppy world you shouldn't put a new chain on used gears. They are mated to each other. A totally new set won't have that much slop. Mine didn't anyway... And I used new OEM parts that were pretty cheap. Best of luck with it! Will be nice to see what the ring gap is on those pistons after they are broke in with that gnarly hone job. Bet they open up quite a bit more! Also when you go to tighten the oil pump you should align the rotors. Unapproved quick method is to snug the bolts by hand and turn the motor over a few times, then torque the pump. In a non-slop world you pull the pump cover and install spacers between the rotors to ensure it's centered properly.... then install.

@madmax2069

Adam Opheim yeah I was going to say a little wear in the cam and crank timing gears will result in slop in the chain (even if the chain is new). if both the gears was a little worn and the chain stretched a little would result in a bunch of slop. but it didn't look like it was sloppy enough to skip a tooth with the old chain, or to cause problems. heck I've seen engines run smooth when the gears didn't have to be removed to remove the chain and still keep in time (that was a real head scratcher when I seen that, I was like how did the chain not pop off or skip a tooth).

i like the idea of heating the balancer but does it hurt the front cover seal? i don't have a balancer installer and saw you do this but didn't want to risk melting the front cover seal or messing it up and cause it to leak. this is my daily driver motor I'm building so wanted to make sure.

Hey question what do you guys torque the main caps to

hey if you stand on the engine stand legs while you torque stuff down on the engine, you dont have to try to hold the engine stand from moving around on you, but do whatever is easiest.

Quick question, you torque the rod caps to 50lbs from what I gathered. Why is that? I am in the process of doing mine and it says 15lbs and then another 75 degrees. Does it end up being around 50lbs with the torque wrench after the 75 degree turn? On one of my rod bolts it won't torque past 40lbs, the bolt ends up spinning

not to be too picky but the timing sprockets actually get more wear than the chain because the c hain usually has rollers init and the sprockets dont so wear more just a thought

Steve Tringale spark timing through tune, cam timing is not adjustable unless you have a adjustable timing gear, are off by an entire tooth, or for the poor people like me can drill and place an eccentric nut on the dowel pin. But you have to be careful with the eccentric nut because depending on how it's adjusted it may bind the bolt holes to the cam and makes the gear not perfectly concentric with the csm
