I cant find a complete list of torque specs for all the bolts that go into the ls1 motor. I know they make a manual for this but i wanted to ask on here before i go out and spend a few hundred on that manual.

Also, i need one for the torque specs for the entire front end.

Reason being is we pulled the motor from the bottom out of my friends ws6 because it had a spun rod bearing. So we took the whole bottom end apart. Then he decided to mod up and get new heads, cam, etc etc.... So we are ready to put everything back together.

Does anyone know where i can find this information?

Thanks

Can i reuse the old head bolts?

How do i know what bolts i do and do not have to put locktite on? Its on almost every bolt on the inside, correct?

The bolts are strech to yeild so they are trashed after u tighten them down to TQ the first time.

What kinda install are u going to do.

No they are torque to yeld meaning they strech, one use only. Get new ones or go with arp bolts.

Well he had spun rod bearings. He went with new ARP bolts.
So im guessing hes gonna need new head bolts...

What else bolts will he be needing.

The motor is Completly apart

I agree, the stock bolts are designed to be tightened until the stretched beyond the elastic limit, meaning that when you take them out, they have actually stretched permanently and can't be re-used.

Your supposed to use locktite on the rocker arm bolts correct?

I just read you are NOT supposed to use it?

Sealant locktite, not the strong stuff.

I usually put the Red locktite on there. I havent had any problems take off the rocker arms.
