Cheap LS 4.8 LR4: Full Test Run, Tear Down, and Inspection
I’ve been in the market for a super cheap 4.8 to rob parts from for one of my personal motors. The price was right for this unit and I figured there was no better way to figure out what was up with it than firing it up on the runstand.
If you would like this engine for yourself please buy it from me. I do not want it.
I also have many other engines and swap parts that I’m always trying to move. The more people buy the more I’ll go get more.

Please tell me, what are the differences in the wiring of the lm4 and lh6 engines? Can I use the lh6 wiring for my lm4 and what changes should I make? (I have the wiring of the lm7 engine as a donor) Thank you in advance.
@@СергейПискунов-р9й it all depends on what your goal actually is. Is this a swap? What year specifically is your LH6? I pretty much never recommend using LM7 wiring as a donor.
@travisblack417 I want to make a swap. I have envoy 2002 with dead inline 6 and lm4 engine with stuff for it, but without wiring. Also i have lm7 and lh6 wiring, but i couldn't find original wiring for lm4(
So the problem lies with the fact that the inline 6 stuff is quite different than any of the v8’s. Doing a v8 swap in a trailblazer regardless of year is a pretty big pain in the ass. You’ll have to pick which PCM version you’re going to go with, and then how to pin it out from there. P01 is 01-02, P59 is 03-04, E40 is 05-06, E38 is 07+. You can see where this gets challenging.
@@travisblack417 Ah shit .. iv got 2005 pcm, so it is for lh6 i think( the swap will be harder, than i thought
@@СергейПискунов-р9й I’m pretty sure the 2002 specifically (and the other years with the inline 6) use a totally different PCM unit than all the v6 and v8 trucks. The only way I’d assume you’d make this thing run again and seem close to normal is to basically make a 2003 LM4 setup and have it be happy with the 2002 body control module. I’m not familiar with the intricacies of the factory body modules and systems because I never v8 swap late model vehicles, I only steal the power trains I want and throw the rest away.

Great content…very helpful! Building an LQ4, switching to DBW using the TBSS intake and TB. Is it possible to rewire the 8 pin harness with the newer 6 pin plug for the TBSS TB? I grabbed the plug and harness with enough wire to reach the ECM. I know there’s a $300 Xlink adapter, just didn’t want to go that way if I can make this work. Again, great channel, great content!!

@@Rod-h2b why are you running DBW in the first place?
Engine is going in a GMC Safari…tight quarters, I thought it would be easier. If there’s a DBC TB that would work better with the TBSS intake I’m open to that
Just pick your brand of choice for a 4 bolt aftermarket cable throttle body. It will bolt directly up to the TBSS manifold.

Can I use a lm7 wire harness on a l59? I know there’s sensors on l59 but I really just want gas only
@@fsu3784 the LM7 and L59 are 100% mechanically identical. There are zero different sensors on the engines. The different RPO code is purely due to the different size injectors and tuning in the original vehicle.
@ thank you! I got a 5.3 from junkyard yesterday and it’s messing with me looking up parts for what it says it’s out of. An 04 avalanche and when I plug that information in nothing fits and I can’t understand why. Even cams. Not a single cam that should fit does. It’s weird

Looks like the old Evinrude gas tank for those outboards
Makes me want to go back to the junkyard. I always go this yard
I live in NM now but when I lived in Ventura I used to shop in Santa Paula .I would even use Santa Paula DMV because they are just nicer people and less greedy than anyone in the valley.
If you can`t find the year look on the sticker that they placed on the drivers side rear 1/4 panel .
I love your vids bud pretty sweet! From Canada
I need an LS that sounds that good
Do you have a video on how you made the engine stand?
Thanks to your video, I finally figured out what motor I have. I bought an engine that was sold as an LS2 out of a TBSS. Stupidly, I only started my research after I bought it. (Sort of a drunk purchase.) I realized pretty quickly that it had a weird mix of parts. Mine has no variable cam and the DOD was deleted. It still has 243 heads. The part I was confused about was the valve reliefs on the pistons and the lack of a casting number on the back of the block. Now I realize it’s an LFA that was made to look like an LS2. I don’t care too much since I’ll be changing the cam and springs anyway, and the -0.2 points of compression don’t bother me since I’ll be using a turbo. I don’t think too many people know about this 6.0.
If it doesn’t have VVT or AFM then it is technically a Gmt360 LS2. Gm was mixing and matching parts like pistons without changing the RPO codes.
@@travisblack417 Thanks for the info. If it was untouched I would just accept it as is, but I can tell the heads were off recently, as was the valley cover and front cover ... I'll take off the starter to see if it looks like there was one installed before this one. I guess the casting number on the crank might help too, 'cause I saw on Summit's info page that they should have different crank castings. The engine also came with a harness from a '09 2500 HD 6.0, so it's a bunch of mix/match by all appearances.
I no this has been up now for a miniute, but question do you build /tune ls engines ? For $ thanks justin

Got a question for you Travis first off really appreciate the content. What size belt did you use for the Nova? Thanks James.

Why not get that gash on the L33 properly welded and deck the block? It doesn’t cost TOO much, and you would have a good, salable block.
@@matthewstorm5188 that’s the plan
Those engines are a PITA to remove! I found one a couple of years back in an Isuzu Ascender, and it took me THREE DAYS to pull. Admittedly, I was alone. And I didn’t start until early afternoon each day. On the other hand, the fact that the LH6 can be found in something labelled as an Isuzu or (especially) SAAB means that these are possibly the easiest aluminum LS motors to find in the junkyard.
What’s the lift on the cam?

Thank you, Travis. I love my Procharged LS 395 in my Corvette. Enjoy seeing the teardown and your explaining as it progresses.
Bad ass bro, one of my rods just ended itself. So imma be doing a 6.0 swap
great

Looks like castech 706 cracked heads. My 2004 Silverado 5.3 had them. Cracked at 76k miles. Look for a battery symbol under the rocker shafts.
Loctite is what’s causing the crank bolt to be tight, put a little heat on it comes right out
@@thruitallauto2538 they’re always tight, but this one needed like 5ft of breaker bar. Normally 3ft is more than enough. Also the motor was still very hot when I removed it. There was plenty of heat in the crank snout.
@@travisblack417 yeah I usually have to put a small torch on the head heat it up and it’s much easier to break lose, usually my mpact want bring it off , put that heat on there and it will back right out, it softens that loctite they have on it
That clean sludge is what antifreeze does, best hand cleaner there is antifreeze/ oil, I used to rebuild diesel engines, drain the oil with antifreeze mixed with it best hand cleaner there is
@@thruitallauto2538 i can’t find any cracks in the heads, let alone a big enough one to let this much coolant into the oil, but it does act like ethylene glycol+ oil is what’s all inside this motor.
