Tip for doing this job is a roll of plastic sandwich bags, that you use to hold all the fasteners and small parts per assembly, and a small zip tie or a knot to attach bag to part. Also the bags are good to cover ports and pipes, keeping debris from entering. Do not have to be strong, or ziploc, the cheapest ones will do fine.

I think he saw it at a DeLorean shop or something, and the past few videos he's been really excited to share his find lol. I always used zip locks, but I'm kind of sold on the muffin pans now. Not only does it keep bolts together, but you can keep them in order of disassembly, too!

When I had my Corvette shop we bought 4 shelf shelves, and added casters and braces so we could roll them around. When we took a car apart we would place the parts on the shelves/carts with a piece of tape saying what job they went to. We restored cars so some jobs could have 5 or 6 carts, but it kept parts together and off the floor with less losses and damage. We also used plastic cups to keep the bolts with the part they came off of, with a show car you can lose points for having the wrong bolt in the wrong place, so details are very important.

I learned (reinforced by a spank and being sent to my room without desert for a few days) when I was around 5 or 6 that it is a LOT easier to take something apart than to put it back together correctly. In my case, it was the kitchen wall phone and it had to be replaced. - After that, I was only allowed to take apart things that were already broken or had stopped working, but it channeled my inquisitiveness and led to a career of electronics repair.

I had my AFM/DOD disabled by the king of LS tuning (James Brewer). He did things to elongate the engine and transmission: * Fuel map fixes for better performance * Trans pressures/shift points to elongate the 4T65E-HD glass trans * Removed the speed governor but put in an rpm limit of 6500 to protect the engine * Cooling fans on almost continuously to protect engine and mostly transmission AFM/DOD parts are still in the engine and can still fail, real fix is to get the LS4 King's DOD delete kit. I have a Lacrosse Super. The cars that run the LS4 are W-bodies (GMX230/231/365). Chevy Monte Carlo SS, Chevy Impala SS, Pontiac GXP (with shift paddles) and the Buick Lacrosse Super. Super is a sleeper and is actually the fastest of the 4, especially with a tune. Not as sporty as the rest. When the trans gives up the ghost, I'll be doing the DOD delete thing, Triple Edge Performance transmission rebuild and put her back on the road for another 200k+ miles (214k on her now)

What a deal. Ray tearing down an LS to remove that junk AFM crap and also an Eric O vid on the same morning. That's starting your day the best way. Wish I had my 05 Silverado torn down and a nice little improvement cam and lifter set...no AFM model. Looks so easy how Ray tears it down in like record time (video editing but still). When I get the green I might have to have mine shipped down and done on video so I can see. Fascinating to me the ins and outs and how simple they look when broken down this clearly and straight forward. Now, can't wait to see the rebuild. That SS might just have gotten another 300k sitting in it after this. Cheers.

Exhaust bolts, use pb blaster catalyst and spray the bolt and beyond the flange. I got all of mine out without breaking them. Definitely look at the pushrods and rocker arms for wear spots Check the rocker bridges for wear/damage, I replaced a set on an angine I acquired. Use the factory GM Lifter Trays or BTR units, not chinesium Amazon units. Dod delete I believe requires blocking off the ports that the oil passes through to the VLOM. Sealant is only required at the 4 corners where the rear and front covers meet the oil pan. The cam seal plate I replace due to seal wear.

Good day to you Ray, wife unit, and mr. Dave! I see you have your safty crocks on 😂. My wife, kids and I along with our 3 dogs are coming to Florida in July. We are going to Englewood and driving to Anna Maria for a day trip. Love Anna Maria and the ugly grouper! Have a good day!

This is going to be a good video, video approved some assembly required end of transmission, click.

Interesting teardown of the LS, and explanation of the AFM system. Assembly minus that system will be interesting. Will the electronics of the car have to be modified without the AFM? We did get a small Lauren/WifeUnit cameo, and a little bit of Dave too. Thanks. 😊

Always nice to see Lauren. Even the lower half. 😁

It is good to film the teardown so you can use the video when putting things back together 🙂

Ray, you are the professional here, but why would you not rebuild the lower end ? With the carbon buildup on top of the pistons and age of the motor, and wobbly timing chain, don't you think you could be setting yourself up to not replace all bearings ? I hope it works out for the best for you. Keep up your great videos !

My 6.2 Silverado lifters lasted 95,000 and dealer replaced and repaired under warranty. So ready for another 90+ thousand miles. My truck gets 24+ mpg on the freeway. Best ever trip was 29mpg. It’s a beast to. Lights the tires up. Lol
