Original LS1 Technical Training Video Is Mesmerizing

By -

Whether you want to learn more about what makes the LS1 tick or just tear one apart, this clip’s exactly what you need.

Even the most experienced engine builders will tell you that their craft isn’t by any means simple work. Tearing down and rebuilding any engine, even a simple pushrod piece like the LS1, requires a little bit of skill and know how. But if you scope out this old school LS1 technical training video, that process promises to go a little more smoothly. And hey, like most video guides, this one makes it seem a whole lot easier than it actually is.

Even if you aren’t planning on rebuilding an LS any time soon, the classic clip is worth watching just for the sweet hair styles and high tech graphics. Not to mention the cheesy music that sounds like it’s straight out of some ’80s adult film. For those of us that grew up during these simpler times, it’s also a proper time warp that’ll have you reminiscing.

Still, it’s hard to believe that the engine we know and love is so incredibly old at this point. But that only makes the fact that it’s still alive and kicking that much more impressive. And if you’re looking to learn a little something about the LS1 or get a closer look at what makes it tick, this video is also pure gold.

After a pretty detailed technical explanation, we get to see an LS1 torn down completely. With your typical voice-over providing guidance. It’s exactly the kind of simple but effective stuff we often forget about. But that’s also the kind of thing that we need to simplify what is a daunting task for most!
