How to Build a 5.3L LS LM7 V8 - Part 6: Timing Set and Front Cover!

Today we will be continuing our build up on our 5.3L LS LM7 V8 sponsored by ‪@SummitRacing‬
In this video we will be talking how to put on the timing chain and sprockets along with the front cover. There is a few details in this video that are absolutely essential to getting right when completing your build. If you do not get the timing chain on right with everything in its correct place the engine will never be timed correctly so it is important to take your time and get this correct!

if you dont have an allen key that size you can always use the head of a bolt upside down and lock 2 nuts on the other end and use a socket to turn everything.

Just a note on oil pump install. I prefer removing the front pump cover and aligning the oil pump with the crankshaft before fully tightening the four housing bolts. Anyone interested can easily find an alignment kit with a simple google search. 👍🏼

Question: I'm building a ls1 5.3 swap in my 69 camaro. New coils, injectors, all new sensors. Runs but backfires then dies. The vats have been removed. Engine: 03 5.3l l59 . The engine did run for over 10 minutes then died and 3 cylinders ran really hot, the others seemed not to get hot at all. That's the back story. At this point I think it's the timing. Conflicting information about what position the dots on the cam sprocket and the crank sprocket should be for TDC. I initially did the cam at 6 o'clock and crank at 12 o'clock but I'm not sure the 1 piston was st TDC. People have said the cam and the crank need to be at the 12 o'clock so the 1 piston is between the compression and power stroke. I know it's a lot but I'm getting desperate. Can you help?

@2carpros 2 жыл бұрын

So I watched all your videos for my lm7 build. I followed all directions. I tried to start my motor but couldn't get it to start. So I decided to go through everything and kind of pin point where I screwed. As of now I'm assuming it has something to do with my timing or bad reluctor wheel. After watching several videos from other builder I can't recall whether or not Cylinder 1 was top dead center. watching your video again I noticed that cylinder 1 was top dead center but you didn't mention it. My question to you is, is there a way to check without completely dis assembling the motor or atleast without removing the head?

@2carpros Жыл бұрын

Pretty sure I said 1 has to be a TDC when you put the timing set on. Yeah, you can just take the spark plug out of #1 and turn the engine over with your finger over the plug well. You'll feel a blast of air that's the compression stroke. Then look in there and keep turning the engine over until it's at the top of its range of movement. That's what you're looking for.

Not by a crazy amount. I doubt you could even measure it with out very expensive machines. Thanks for watching!

Pascal's law is figureing out how much liquid compresses

@2carpros 3 жыл бұрын

In simple terms you can't compress a liquid. That's why hydraulics work. You can put it under pressure though. Thanks for watching!

I’m sure someone already said it but I’ll say it again. If you don’t have an Allen wrench big enough, a bolt head will work. Double nut the threads to put a wrench or socket on, and stick the bolt head in where the Allen wrench would go. Save yourself money on something you’ll only use once or twice.

I can't recommend that just because it isn't the technically correct way. But hey if it works it works. Thanks for watching!

By the end you probably looking around 10 grand if you buy everything new. So it doesn't make any sense to buy an engine for 500 bucks. Better get a used truck with low mileage and just take the engine out and put it in your toy
