ls/v question
would it be wise or needed to run a gsr bottom end oil assembly on a ls/v assembly?
|
Oil assembly? All b series share the same oil pump, what changes is the pick up and the pan.
|
the girdle that goes over the mains, and the oil pick up and oil pan?
|
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.
|
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
|
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 |
so i dont need all the other stuff huh? just the simple stuff, right?
|
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.
|
what needs to be machined on the rods and pistons?
|
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...
|
oh ok. i didnt know that. thanks for your input and help. i appreciate it alot.
|
shot-peen the rods if ur planning on using stocks.
|
would it be better to get the aftermarket setup for the bottom end? i wanna make this engine be reliable.
|
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 |
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.
Who does? Not me! |
so if i got the rods, they wouldnt need to be machined to fit the bearings for the crank?
|
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 |
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! |
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.
|
gsr set-up? slap me some info,
|
you just use gsr crank, rods, pistons and assemble.
|
i need a k
|
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?
|
You don't need any of it.
