Question Gen-V Assembly book?

Are there any books with assembly instructions out there for the Gen-V motors? I have one for the Gen-3 and Gen-4 motors, and it was very helpful. I would like to learn how to rebuild the Gen-V engines next, but I will need torque specs and sequences at the minimum. I'm sure there are some videos online, but I like to have a physical book that I can refer to when needed.

On this same topic...is $400 a good price for an L84 with bad lifters? I'm on a mission to DoD Delete every LS/LT motor I can get my hands on.

Go on Amazon and see if there's possibly a Haynes manual or similar.
The closest I've found so far is "How to Build Max-Performance LT1/LT4 Engines" from CarTech (SA Design) Books. Amazon should have it.

Most of the fastener torque specs (intake/ exhaust manifold, timing cover, oil pan, etc.) are exactly the same as Gen III/ IV.

Heads are a different story. I'm sure that Fel Pro has the specs.

Yeah, I've seen that book too. That's the Gen-2 small block LT engine though.
