Ls1 bottom end
Ls1 bottom end Is there somewhere on ls1howto.com or on here that shows how to rebuild bottom?? And does anyone know how hard of a job it is.. I pretty much have heads off cam out and wondering is this a good time to do it and do I have to drop the engine to do it??
Thanks
Thanks
Unless it had bad oil pressure, spun bearing, or super high miles I would leave the bottom end alone...ls1howto is a good site but there is a big difference in building the toP end compared to the bottom end, if I were you I would let it be....
But if you are dead set on building it get a service manual as it has every little step listed in it...good luck

It is not easy to just rebuild the engine yourself. ideally you would get the cylinders honed, rebearing and rering the motor at the least. All of these require specific tools and experience that not everyone has. If you have never rebuilt an engine before I would highly recommend taking it to a machine shop that works on LS1 motors. The clearances can get pretty exact on these things.
