ls/v question

[whata>kawinkydink]

would it be wise or needed to run a gsr bottom end oil assembly on a ls/v assembly?

[king06]

Oil assembly? All b series share the same oil pump, what changes is the pick up and the pan.

[whata>kawinkydink]

the girdle that goes over the mains, and the oil pick up and oil pan?

[king06]

You don't need all that, plus, I don't even think you can just bolt it on. I'm pretty sure you need to line hone it. You don't need it.

[whata>kawinkydink]

thats what i was thinking. but most of the people i talk to say get it. they think im probly gonna be driving around in high rpm's. this is for a d.d. thanks for your input

[Mr.Burner]

they think im probly gonna be driving around in high rpm's. this is for a d.d.

Thats cause eveyone does

And whoever is telling you that has no clue what there talking about... its simply a head change, some small parts and a brain

[whata>kawinkydink]

so i dont need all the other stuff huh? just the simple stuff, right?

[Mr.Burner]

You need, head gasket, headstuds, rod bolts, computer, cyl head, oil feed & block off plug, machine work for the rods, new pistons or modified stock ls ones, new bearings for your rods.

[whata>kawinkydink]

what needs to be machined on the rods and pistons?

[Mr.Burner]

stock pistons should be cut for valve relief and the rods should be resized for the new bolts and bearings, the new bolts have a different clamping force which changes the diam of the big end of the rod...

[whata>kawinkydink]

oh ok. i didnt know that. thanks for your input and help. i appreciate it alot.

[fRoSt]

shot-peen the rods if ur planning on using stocks.

[whata>kawinkydink]

would it be better to get the aftermarket setup for the bottom end? i wanna make this engine be reliable.

[Mr.Burner]

Billet pistons are a plus cause you wont be using oil squirter's...

Rods are up to you, eagle are cheap and work but there kinda heavy for n/a, stock rod works just fine if used correctly

[Dead Bird]

shot-peen the rods if ur planning on using stocks.

Just go pick up some Eagle Rods for 300. Come with ARP's, they're forged(stronger than shotpeened!), and are brand new/don't need resized or machined out for possible imperfections.

Thats cause eveyone does




Who does?
Not me!

[whata>kawinkydink]

so if i got the rods, they wouldnt need to be machined to fit the bearings for the crank?

[gunsup0331]

to install rod bolts, inspect, shotpeen and resize stock rods will cost less than $100 at a machine shop
And stock rods are a dime a dozen.

Your rods + ARPs+machinework=$140
vs..
Eagle rods=$300

for a mild NA LsV stock rods with ARPs are fine.*

*Unless you drive like DBT then u need titanium everything

[Mr.Burner]

titanium isnt gonna help dbt's problem haha jk

but use the stock rod, just have them machined, or bring it to me for christ sake!

[integ2000ls]

If I were you I wouldnt do it unless you switched to the all gsr set up with gsr timing belt. Its not much money really.

[whata>kawinkydink]

gsr set-up? slap me some info,

[Mr.Burner]

you just use gsr crank, rods, pistons and assemble.

[Dead Bird]

i need a k

[locash]

Waste of time and money changing the water pump and timing belt to the GSR stuff.

so would the ls equipment be ok for daily use?

[king06]

You don't need any of it.
