Lq4 rebuild questions.
Lq4 rebuild questions. Hello.
I am buying a completely tore down lq4 on Wednesday, and am needing a few questions answered.
Everything is included with the motor, but since the motor is tore down I think it would just be wise to rebuild it.
First question, is where can I find a rebuild kit decently priced?
Since this will be my first complete engine rebuild, does anyone have any links to where I can see a complete rebuild on this motor, or even LS1/LS2?
Also what some good material to use to rebuild the motor, such as a book, or a dvd.
Thanks allot.

If the walls are not scarred up you may be able to slightly hone it and re-ring it. If you are on a budget.

So what are some recommend rebuild kits?
Edit: Didn't know the past tense of "scar" was spelled with two "r's".

Plus I've did a rough price mock up last night, I am looking at $6,000.
I am buying the motor tomorrow, so I am going to give it a good look over. And then start ordering parts.
But see my main problem is not being able to find **** in a kit.
But to double check, will all of these bearings work?

Also whats a good gasket kit, I do not want cheap gaskets.
i got a lq4 outta a junk yard for a deal man...truck was a 2001 and had sat for 2 years...took it to a shop to do rebuild on the bottom end and turned out great....only thing i wish i had done was go with flat top pistons instead of the factory -2cc disc...so as another member said....why not 408ci
gaskets depend on the pistons too...if you deck your heads you will need a diff. thickness/better gasket with flat top pistons...but if you leave them in your comp. will be around 9:5:1 i think....also cnc motorsports has good prices too!!!

If u plan on turbo. Just get the 7 layer mls gm ls9 gaskets. Designed for forced induction by the general. Less than or round 100$ shipped from gmpartsdirect or other gm sources
Gmpartsdirect is confusing. You have to know parts numbers, and the search auction they do have shows about a quarter of the parts they should.
