As a former Lexus master technician, seeing this reminds me of the time I resurrected my race damaged GT500. 2 weeks straight staying in the shop after my shift, pulling my busted Shelby in and tearing it down to tackle the next mechanical damage. Id stay late, sometimes after night crew went home, to mechanically rebuild the car before sending it to the body shop. Worth it, got my car back on the road. Final alignment spec was exactly as it was before the wreck. And for everyone criticizing these dudes: working on your own junk is a different world compared to servicing customer cars, especially Lexus cars.

Tip Put the cam in first. Rotating assembly will be out and you can help guide the cam in through the block

It really is amazing how simple these engines are to build.

Bud spend the money and buy you a good ring compressor, great video.

Those arp bolt washers got angled side up. 👀

lexus techs building a general motors engine in a lexus service department (i fucking love it)

See these the type of Guys I love seeing working together having fun and at the same time taking care of fuckin bizness doing it! & Chris is made for the camera 😂 no doubt 😂 he's hilariously funny

How do you push oil into the motor with the oil pan off ? If you look there are 2 ports that feed the oil into the filter than into the block, without the pan all your doing is filling the port between the pump and the filter. The easy way to prime is once assembled with the oil pan on pull the large plug on the side of the drivers side of the engine near the pump, hook up a drill powered pump to the port and feed it oil while turning the motor over with a ratchet. That way you'll lube everything from the mains to the rockers.

I have a tsp 408 ls I'm putting in my 95 silverado and after I get used to the power I'm gonna boost it and hope the built 60e holds considering it was in a 1150 hp Camaro but this truck weighs more

Life of a dealership tech, it’s nice to work on your own stuff but that doesn’t make money. Dope build

Its a START to BIG HP builders

These guys crack me up. Nice work on the build

Heads are on backwards the steam ports are now in rear and fronts are plugged.

Rookie mistake! Heads are on backwards! But good job on the build! Really clean job.. keep it up guys. New sub..

Need alignment tools for the front & rear cover too. You might get lucky, but the main seals often leak w/o proper alignment.

There is one thing I know. You guys are professional mechanics. Most mechanics can't do this job.

You guys did good but I woul have RTVed that oil pan, and head studded the heads

Episode 2 👀👀

Great to see it's a LS Motor

Good stuff but holy smokes on the lube. The crankshaft journals, piston wrist pins and cam don’t need that much lube. Other than that, good stuff.

You guys are doing a great job🤘

Awesome Content, So what's Yall thought on a 416 Stroker 6.2 Built Bullet Proof for Low End Torque n Throttle Response for a Swap into a 96 Triple Locked Land Cruiser on 35" w 4:88 Gears 😎 Maybe Someday LSA Super Charged

With engine assembly - cleanliness is **truly** next to godliness. Everything oughtta be absolutely spotless and you shouldn't trust your part suppliers to have perfectly cleaned stuff before shipping to you. Also, I know it's very commonly done the way y'all did, in an open shop environment - but it's a bad idea. There's just too much dust, dirt and debris in an open shop. Plus, I see overhead fans - which are circulating whatever airborne particles and trash happen to be in your shop while other people are sweeping, blasting, grinding, etc... Bad idea. Change that oil after the first 15 minutes of runtime! Not blasting you guys - happy to see youngsters interested in this stuff. Just offering friendly constructive criticism!

What about the con roads bearing!!! Easy to install before install the piston

Yo is that chris stokes????? Tell him me and jose where in superstreet together at UTI with Mr Keefer lmao wth!!!! That boy jose said wassup

Can yall post the link for the pistons and rods and bearings? Sure would appreciate it.

Lmao you guys are awesome and have great personalities.

Bad ass motor/ decent smartcar

Nice job 😳😲🤠💯💯💯💯💯

ALLDATA says to torque the first 10 head bolts 3 passes 1st pass 22ftlbs 2nd pass 90 degrees 3rd pass 70 degrees

Nice mods guys!!!! Enjoyed the vid.

What up guy's just brought a cam for my 6.0and lifter for my Yukon Denali xl any other options don't wanna stop here what other head's can I use as well piston in the ls family make good power

I wish u could of shown the ring configuration I had to screenshot and pause the video to guess the last two

How reliable would this be? I found a fully built g5 camaro for sale. Plan on using as a daily along with my c5

You would have looked a lot cooler if you would have put head studs in it but next time you'll get her done. Maybe even a bad boy with half inch ones. Great job though liking the video so far.

Alright god damn it it’s been a year where is ep 2? lol

Hell yeah man.

What kind of cam are y'all using?

Nice stuff just the rods and pistons how much ??

good work fellas

No rod barrings??

Whats the instrumental in the beginning

Stock crankshaft?

Thanks for doing the video Personal opinion, but while you were there, you should have deleted the Active Fuel Management (DOD). The AFM lifters are a known point of failure Many will also disable the Variable Valve Timing as well Oh well, next time

If you set ring gap at the very top of the bore its wrong. You have to go deeper into the bore where the rings live. I wonder if this engine is still alive.

They let you do this at work? Like while on the clock

I didn't see rod bearings.

Washer on that head bolt you put on needs to be flipped over. You put it on wrong. Well it looked like you did. Sounds like a joke but they do go on a certain way

Go head guys do you lol

Can never have enough lube,lol!!!!!!!!

All that lube I thought I was watching a beginning of a porn for a minute there.

Que tal compa! Una pregunta !! quiero cambiar un cam pero mi motor es un 6.2 l92 ls y quiero saber si es lo mismo que un lq9

LS swap the world.

Build a new motor and use an old oil pump??????????

Ring gap way too tight.

Heads are on backwards

F BomB sorry

Not watching foul language

So many mistakes in this vid........

Sorry, had to stop. Clueless.
