Default Short/Longblock assembly guide?
New to LSx, assembling L92 in a few weeks, want to make sure I dont do anything stupid like forget a oil galley or a freeze plug. Is there a guide with pics anywhere?

I would get a copy of "How to Rebuild GM LS-Series Engines" by Chris Werner (published by Car Tech) to start.

X3... That book is awesome and highly informative. Torque specs and sequences for every bolt in the engine.

I have and like both, but Werner's book contains more detailed information.
