Ok well I know its a motor...but what motor? also what all parts are in it? I guess my motor was replaced under warranty...and I would like to know what it is....I googled it and it says no longer available....

Can anyone help me out please.

 

Umm need more than just a random part number.. V8, V6, out of a car, truck... efi or carb...

That partnumber could be the UPC code on a cerial box for all Google knows... you need to be more specific with the search field.

 

no its a GM part number for a Motor...I already no that...Ive searched...I just would like to know what motor...whether its EXACTLY the same as the one that was built in it...

BTW do a search on that part number and it will tell you its a motor...

 

cant find what part that number goes too. is the car a 01 ws6? what year was it replaced and what heads are on it?

 

It was replaced in 03....and it seems it has 241 heads on it...

What im wondering is this...did ANY aftermarket parts go into the motor....is there any way to find that out? I know the dealership where the swap was done and the date etc etc.

 

im beting its a stock ls1.

i would call the dealer and see if they still have the info they wrote up befor and after the motor was installed. btw do you know what went on the motor for them to replace it?

 

Its probably a service LS1, an ls1 without like intake etc

 

No idea what happened....All I know is that it was replaced at 33k miles under factory warranty....I know its an LS6 block and an LS6 intake with 241 heads....but thats all I know....

 

thats called a long block

 

did you take the intake and valley cover off? why do you think it an ls6 block?

 

I remeber back awhile ago...I was reading in a post that the LS6 block has like a a circle on it and the LS1 block has a bullseye....mine has a circle....

 

Because it isn't shiny like it is supposed to be!















I really mean it too, if I am not mistaken the LS1 block is shiny and the LS6 is a dull gray.

Whereas you can tell a VTEC block by the characteristic .

 

yeah my block is pretty dull....even when I put engine shine on it

 

i dont beleive you

yeah thats where I saw what it was....but there is no info on it...nor a price anymore

 

I read it from some car tech rag awhile back.

The article was explaining about how they were sticking LS6 blocks in the LS1 F-Bodies.

It mentioned ways to identify if you were one of the "lucky" ones. Mostly by identifying the different appearance of the block due to different casting/material/whatever they were talking about.

Basically they said if you stuck one next to the other LS1 was shinier/lighter in color than the LS6.


Ooooooookay, I just looked at the LS6 in my garage and despite it being uber clean it isn't a bit shiny. Now I don't remember how shiny my other 2 LS1's were butttt...

I would expect that they were a bit lighter in color than the LS6 if I remember correctly.

 

huh...cool. heard anything about the bullseye or circle on the block? where is it located?

 

I haven't heard anything about that... anymore info on the subject?

 

Look at these pics....if your looks like these you have an LS1 block if you circle is filled in you have an LS6 block

The LS6 has slightly larger bay-to-bay holes casted between the cylinders at the bottom of the bores. It lets air move around at higher rpm with a bit less turbulence so there isn't as much whipping of the oil.

Slightly more reinforcement in the webbing, and the alloy is slightly stronger than the LS1 alloy.
