LQ4 Replacement bearings? Nitrous Piston Ring Gap?
LQ4 Replacement bearings? Nitrous Piston Ring Gap? I don't know what ones to order. I believe these are the correct ones
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SBC-CHEVY-350-383-ROD-AND-MAIN-BEARINGS-557-807-STD-/350596477232?pt=Motors_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=item51a12db130&vxp=mtr
I have 2 of the rods out and want to put new ones in. Also torque specs on the rod caps? I seen 15 LBS and 60* ? Seems a little low to me. I was thinking around 45lbs ish?
Also this engine already had aftermarket crank bearings so it has been gone through I believe, so should I use stock specs for ring gap?
Thanks

Those are for a SBC, not an LS.
The rod bolts are a Torque To Angle design, so 15lbs and 60 degrees is probably accurate, but it was changed throughout the years as well. Later model engines went to 75 degrees if I remember correctly.
If you're using nitrous, I would go looser with the ring gaps. Keep the top ring gap tighter than the second.
