LT5 Assembly Project
Was wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting pics as I take apart and reassemble my LT5 Spare engine?
With that, I will pose my first question, before I tear into the shortblock, any other gaskets, etc that I should not mess with due to availability, etc? My intention is to pull the pan, and timing cover, etc. check things out to see if there are any surprises. I will probably also need to replalce a liner, etc LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 Last edited by LGAFF; 10-16-2008 at 10:32 PM. |

Re: LT5 Assembly Project

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
I started making gaskets a few months ago, primarily because of cost. After getting into the project, I found out improvement in materials, design & specifications was needed. I have all the gaskets & seals you need except for the front cover. I'm now working on that drawing for manufacturing within the next 30 days or so. My product & price list is on the parts for sale section.
You can email me at A26B@aol.com for a quote or order. Jerry

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
I would love to see pics of the entire process, especially the removing and replacing the heads and timing the camshafts.
Post 'em up!! You can be sure that I will download and save every one of them for future reference. TomC "Crabs"
