Welcome back to Part 2 of our detailed series on rebuilding the GM 5.3 LT engine and performing a Displacement on Demand (DOD) delete.
This episode dives into the heart of the engine, tackling some of the most critical steps in the rebuilding process.
Join me as I methodically dismantle key components, preparing the engine for the crucial removal of the camshaft.
In This Episode, You'll Learn:
Cooling System Removal:
I start by taking out the cooling fan, radiator, and AC condenser to clear the way for deeper engine work.
Accessory Drive Components:
Follow along as I remove the alternator bracket with the AC pump, and then the water pump.
Belt & Starter Removal:
See how to strip all belts from the crank pulley and how to remove the starter to access the flywheel for locking.
Engine Locking:
I'll show you how to insert a locking tool onto the flywheel to secure the engine at top dead center (TDC), setting the stage for further disassembly.
Crank Pulley Removal:
Watch the challenging process of loosening the crank pulley bolt with a torch and then using a pulley removing tool to extract the crank pulley.
Camshaft Release:
I'll cover the removal of the timing chain cover, loosening the cam phaser bolt, and finally lifting the camshaft, which feels like lifting a trophy after a marathon session.
