LS1s are easy... Oh for the love of GOD.
Gasket scraping, RTV everywhere. Bolts are all the same. It takes two people to lift a head into the engine bay. 37 different gaskets, all weird brands... are they right? Loosening all this sludge and carbon... is it holding something together? Wait...is it a metric or a standard bolt? How did the 14th person to tear this apart put it back together last time?
It's no 77 Jag V12... but a 5.0 teardown and rebuild sure makes an LS1 seem like Lego.
Can't I just mess with LSXs from now on? Please?
