Looks like the price on these head studs have gone up to $80.
Hey good video’s! But I have a question maybe you could help, I’m putting
Heads off a 02′ Ls1 Camero SS, “& I wanna use Head Stud’s” on my 00′ Truck
Ls 5.3, will I need 02′ Camero Head studs? Or….?? Any help will be
greatly appreciated thanks!
Using the ls1 valves in the 5.3 head isn’t necessarily better. As the
bigger valve take up more room on a already smaller throat. With the bigger
valve the air has to move around it, there is a video
On here somewhere explaining it, I put 5.3’valves in my ls1 heads, and long
tubes and just that made it more responsive. The studs look awesome always
wondered about them, just so I’m clear this isn’t criticism just one car
guy knowledge to another. I’m sure the bigger valve has it’s advantages.
Keep on wrenching!
I know this is a long shoot but you said you messed up the 1st set of bolts
would you happen to have a extra fastner laying around you would sale??
I have a 92 Camaro rs ran fine at first until the guy at O’Reillys put
straight coolant in my car no water, now when I ride the temp stays just
above 220. Do you think it’s because of the coolant please help.
What kind of bucket seats do u recommend for a 85 Chevy c10
Thanx bro im wanting to start out my first build towards the end of the
year or early next year same stuff 5.3 junkyard like everyone else and yeah
huntsvilles not far I got family up that away . Start selling auto parts,
thats a good idea looks like I might need to find a part time job!
Nice vid I needed this vid …
This is a great channel I’m learning a lot from you and other people
comments.
Hell yea bro thnks for the info!!
question for you man do you have to build an ls1 to turbo it? building a
drift missle and wanting to do an ls1 swap in an RX7 with a turbo! lol
Are you gonna do a step by step install? I have 3 of the 85 chevy trucks
one is a 4×4 and would love an LS1 between the frame rails.
Remember to use slow and smooth movements with your torque wrench till it
clicks.
Quick rapid jerks won’t give you a true reading.
Hey man im a Marine vet I live in birmingham AL and I also have an 86 c10.
How did you get started on building engines and racecars
I’m sold on using the head studs seems the best way to go
What’s the part number to those studs
22 ft lb for the rocker arms?
good job see u on your next update
great video Mark, keep em coming!
Gear head the video was awesome .What made you go with the 4.8 liter piston
over the stock 5.3?
btw…is it all about the he said she said bullshit? is it one of those
days?
It’s funny just read your response about the deflector, it was actually
dragging on the freeway for about an hour didn’t know until I slowed down
on the street where I heard it, got home and zipped tied it up threw the
holes on the bottom. I figured that May also be a problem because it was
blocking the radiator.
very nice info you didnt put a link to the cheap ebay head studs whats up
with that lol
The stupid bolts are rusty and one is stripped its a mess. I have to take
some where to get them cut or torched off.
Always the best videos! Can’t wait to build mine!
I live in Houston Texas, and yes he added 100% coolant, I went out today
and drained about 60% and added the rest water, drove it around about 30
minutes and now it’s running fine again. So me living in Houston where it’s
really hot do you suggest I run 25% coolant and the rest water? First
Camaro any help would be appreciated. THANKS!
Torquing the heads down onto the 5.3 for the ’87 Chevy truck.
Good video as always man keep em coming! I think it’s time I get off my ass
and make a couple videos of my project I just have to use my phone so I’m
not sure how the quality will be lol
OH OH no copper spray, hahah
real nice video , I needed to know things about LS , i hope one of them
days i can come by ,
I will but first I need to figure out some way to get my trucks bumper off
before I try and fix an engine.
No I was saying thanks for the info but got side tracked
I have one more question why does my 92 Camaro rs stall on me from time to
time, is it because I don’t let it warm up long enough, sometimes I give it
2 minutes tops and reverse and then it stalls not all the time just some
days
Great video makes me want to go build engine even more now.
Not overheating just running really higher than it normally does
