mechanical information Does anyone know of any websites that can educate me on the internal workings of an LS1?? Some of you guys really know your sh*t when it comes to engines and i would like to know where you got all that information from?? If its from books, where did you get them? I just want to better myself when it comes to knowing what's going on under my hood? I floated a vale, broke a spring/rocker arm, or something in that nature and dont want to take it to someone else to fix it. If im going to own one of the greatest engines ever made, i want to know how to work on it. Thanks for the help <img border="0" alt="[burn out]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_burnout.gif" />

Re: mechanical information A good website for basic information is howstuffworks.com
Then go to AutoStuff > Under the Hood
If you are going to be working on your engine you will need the service manuals.

Re: mechanical information I bought the shop manual for a 1999 Trans Am but the reading is complex, hopefully there are some books or more websites out there that will help. I guess i picked a pretty complicated engine to learn on but thats the price for performance!! I will be out of the country for a few more months so i have plenty of time before i get home and start the work. Thanks for the links <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />
