I see two buddies building a budget engine out the garage with what they have. Much better than most of the half baked shit I see on YT. Subscribed.
Thank you!
@@TurboShotIncredible you're welcome, keep up the good work.
Agreed man i just sub'd up 🤘 i put a 4.8L into my LT1 fbody and have a rough 5.3L i got with the 4.8L both for $300cad.
Gonna do just this to the 5.3 for my back up engine when i finally go boost.
Back yard budget shit is the most fun keep it up
Good comment! Totally awesome!
Hy i fw it
When you assemble your heads on the coffee table in your living room that's dedication and passion
I genuinely don’t understand all the “gLaD yOuR nOt mY mEcHaNiC” comments..? People have built these things in a sandbox with a sledge hammer and made 500+ with a china turbo and hp tuners all day... I was impressed with how much they “cared” while they were assembling it lol
Zipties for the win and two passes at the strip later it blew the hell up
Most “mechanics” do the bare minimum to get you out the door to bring in the next sucker to gouge them too. If the car breaks down they’ll charge you more and just say it was another issue and not the one they previously fixed. A lot of backyard grease monkeys take more care into what they do than a professional shop.
It goes both ways , honest mechanics are hard to find , but most backyard grease monkeys as you call them , sure they fix one thing but doesn't mean it was done the right way or they had to right tools for the job , usually ignorant and cause more problems then they fixed , just my experience
Exactly.
Hell to the fuck yeah and guess what the 5.3 likes it. Shit it might shit itself but who cares it’s a beast tear it down and make it even more powerful. I’ve got 311k and I at least do 10 pulls a week
I watched this dude take a palm sander to the block and I was like “…that’s illegal he can’t do that… can he?”
*continues to watch*
10/10 over all
I know it’s critical but it’s cool to see you don’t have to treat the thing like it’s patient zero for smallpox
Hope the build panned out well
This is a good video to advertise buying power tools for the teardown
Been building em like this for years. No machine shop unless a crank journal needs to be ground. You can even bore with a stone hone it just takes a lil while. You can shave the head down with a nice flat surface covered in 80 grit. You can re-use headbolts , sand bearing surfaces , run only the top ring on the pistons , pretty much all the stuff that people say you should NEVER do, haha... as long as you understand the purpose of each part and what stresses it will see. Bad ass valve cuts can be done on a mini-lathe from harbor freight. DIY flow bench to see what the porting is doing. Fun
No, no no. First, that hone is ment for chasing dingle berry's off your ass. If you have a nodding donkey and know how to use it, maybe. No way are you going to accurately hone to next piston size. If you want it to look like a street cone, sure. Not hating, just calling bs
You can re-use tty bolts but 1: They're cheap as shit, just go buy them. and 2: You gotta feel for the yield zone of the bolt which is where it seems like it's starting to flex instead of turn, stop at that point , that's as tight as it's gonna get. If you go any further than that, it severely weakens the bolt or twists it in half
DAWG YA BOYS GOT A DAMN PLANE IS HIS GARAGE!!!! DONT RACE HIM LMAO
Damn watching this makes me wanna build my own!! Keep up the hard work bro. Stay solid 🤙🏻
I don’t know if you guys are still making content but i just wanted to say after watching this i went out and bought me a 5.3 out of a c1500 with a broken lifter to rebuild from scratch and make it my personal own. I have never fully did a rebuild from scratch before but after watching i built enough confidence to at least try so i plan on more information as i start my goal of 700-800hp with boost of course not on a budget so any good advice helps
That's awesome to hear! Best wishes from us! And we are getting back to making consistent content 😌
Awesome video guys. I was looking online for 5.3’s between 400hp - 500hp. Your video popped up and I really enjoyed watching two guys build the 5.3. Gives me something to shoot for this spring when I start my build. I’m doing a drift and really fun Street toy 89 Ram 50/Mighty Max that we’ve owned for 31 years now. Again, great videos I’ve seen so far. I can’t wait to hear it purrrrr. 😉🤙🏻✌🏼
I thought the same thing about the heads but yea it was scotch brite, however they could sand it on a glass table and that doesn’t require a machine shop either. Almost Everything can be done at home with the proper know how. Great video, nice build, hope the channel blows up!
Thanks a lot, much appreciated!
I built my 6.0 the same way, minus sending my block and heads to be ported and cleaned up. Watching this makes me miss my homies from Alabama. Since I moved away, it's hard to find true car guys that can get after it with you. Good work, did you use plastiguage on the crank?
I don’t think he did, just measured the journal
fr man, so many muscle car guys in bama, especially classic muscle
I am glad to see someone care about what they are doing and clean/prep it! Nice job!
Man it’s my dream to do this in my garage one day
Lost you guys a couple of years back because I didn’t subscribe but glad UA-cam brought you back to my attention and I’m subscribed this time
This video was on my "Suggested" list...
I'm going to watch it now and evaluate.
It's been one week since this comment, what did you "evaluate"?
@@TurboShotIncredible i would like to know as well
Dope af to have a homie to do this wit. My boys not into this shit . I don’t understand how an engine doesn’t interest a person lol
Great vid
Same bro, I don’t have friends who’s interested in putting in work for this. The one homie I do have all he wanna do is sleep and smoke up all my weed all day. I can’t have him around, I get irritated lol
I'll work with you son
@@dcizfocused3132 he's not a true homie if all he wants to do is use you for what you have. And doesn't realize he's annoying.
Almost cried when I saw him put the crank in without assembly lube🤢
lol
Lol dont worry. He put in lube off camera
Fuuu. I know bro
Almost cried when i saw him hit the heads with a sander
That was your take away ?! Dry crank install , smacking a balancer on with the crank bolt then proceeding to use it , degree the camshaft ?!? Pffftt why would you bother doing that ?!? Pretty sure when they were putting the pistons in they smashed the rings completely off one piston all because they can’t work a ring compressor. Wd40 to lube up the hone ….. and drop it in on a dry bore. Old mate who ported the heads looked like he phone it in half way. I bet the oil pump was slid over the crank and bolted up , not shimmed correctly.the probably reused the lifter trays in it … they seem like that type of people All in all there was heaps of things that made me cringe …. But hey wish version of Lenny Kravits says it’s gunna make 500HP from that little 5.3 …. If it ran longer than 3 minutes I’d be very surprised….
I'm sorry that so many people hate on ur page but keep up the good work
Miller Mechanical Enterprise it’s not hate it’s constructive criticism.
I guess make a video of how you would do it, and message the individual instead of putting some crazy negative stuff on their page seriously I have a page and wouldn't want negativity on it , however if there is something wrong a subscriber should message the youtuber that created the video and if theres multiple people with the same messages , they would probably positively respond . Nobodys gonna change anything if u nag them and this ain't even my page but I'd be pissed if I seen so much hate.
@@jflorf909 There has been nothing constructive said.
The punch through the newspaper! Let's go! Lol
Love how you guys just have a casual experimental plane in your garage…DIY to the max in this household
Great video . Looks awesome . Had to mute the single loop music after the 300th loop though. Enjoyed the build ! Thanks guys
All hail the 4 Bolt Main 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
6 bolt. Can't forget the two on the side
If you get a glass coffee table you can deck the block and heads by putting some abrasive paper and wd40. It will be flat, unlike the sanders.
Debating to rebuild or put a new motor in mine but I think imma rebuild it since this was so helpful. Love seeing buddies helping each other to build a work of art.
Buy a junk yard motor and rebuild it, then swap em.
Ls motors changed the game. Cheap and go fast. A lot of bald eagles are gonna come out of this one💪🏾😎 🇺🇸
Following to see if this thing actually runs and makes 500hp. Don’t mean to be a hater but there was a lot of “bush mechanic” work going on 😂. Hey, if it works it means I get to save some money in the future!
Budget is the name of the game! Bush mechanic, that's a new term. Hahahahaha
More shade tree mechanic than a bush mechanic. It’s a budget build and anyone hating on it has no concept of the words “budget build.” It was leaking more oil before, they cleaned the hell out of it and put it back together like many have done before them. If you grew up with a dad working on his own cars, do you remember him having all the tech and whatnot you see today? Of course not, most of it didn’t exist and you saw a lot of these techniques used by them back then, just cuz the hot rod car show does it perfectly doesn’t mean the other way doesn’t work. It’s all preference and budget. It might leak a little oil and wear a little faster at worst, but it’s still far better than it was.
I can't wait to see the Dyno pulls
Thanks guys. I have to rebuild my 6.0 lq9 by myself
This is what I’m talking about!!
im starting my journey now, thank you for this video!
Thats that real work over hauling ls 100
Mann these boyz really about that life long project well made and very damn well apreciated .!
Now i want a 5.3 in my 83 monte carlo 🤗
Warning:
minimal assembly lube utilized when installing crank shaft, viewer discretion is advised.
All jokes aside, great channel 👍🏽
I am putting a reman in my truck after the purple paint , I am thinking of maybe painting my block forest green to match my 2003 chevy Silverado. nice job fellows
New follower..... I'm half way through building my 5.3 vortec 2005 engine ...still getting the hang of it but I will finish it and rebuild another one on the future if I get the chance.... it's pretty exciting to build it with my 2 kids
That's a great learning and bonding experience, I wish my dad would have done that with me! Thank you for your support!
Love the valve seals on the coffee table bro! I built my first turbo on a coffee table. Cheers!
Bro is that a airplane In The garage lmao
Nobody gonna talk about it being grape flavor? 😂 Jk awesome job 👍
I got scared when you guys were grinding the block but mannnnn that engine looked nice. Good job making it happen with what you have. 👌🏼
So much better than any of that crap on TV, nice work on the build and video guys, keep at it!
Just found your channel. Good job I like you guys
Just discovered this video by accident and don't regret it
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!
You lost that tooth in a fight I bet hope it was a good one much love
Brothers, you guys are living the dream! Keep it up!
love the video guys. im in the middle of rebuidling a 6.0 for an ls swap in my truck. makes me not want to half ass the build and take my time going through all the bearings and little parts than are sometimes overlooked
Nice build bros
Enjoyed watching. What cam you decide to put in it. Can't wait to hear it run. Keep up the good work 👍.
Dude is that an airplane I see in the background? I want to see that build.
Great video! we are in the middle of 5.3 rebuild and LS swap in to a wild project.
looks so much fun i always wanted to build a motor with my bros and i will one day
forget the haters cool vid man
The only thing I don't like about this video is how you machined the block other than that great video
They didnt machine the block, they used a bullshit hone. Thats not machining.
I subscribed!!!! Forget the haters! It's not for them! It's for us!!!!! Keep up the good work!!!!
Really enjoyed this video, would love to do this sometime. Love that purple you painted the block! Subbed for sure!!
I enjoyed this video. *clicks subscribe *
1/4 inch deck height with that gasket, but you need it
Wow what a journey! Can't wait to rip this baby down the streets!
TurboShotIncredible did y’all oil the bearings before putting the crank in? It didn’t look like it in the vid
@@jspear1222 Assembly lube.
It looked like y’all put it on dry I was jw bro lol I know a lot of ppl use a wide variety of things
Nice Trans Am Shirt!
Great video, only thing I would have done differently is sanded the heads by hand with sandpaper on a 2×4
I love it. You guys got real passion and heart for this stuff keep it up.
After seeing the iroc, in the back round I subscribed
Oh wow u guys have an airplane ✈️ nice
how about, what`s up with the airplane? selling? building?
Best 5.3 build on u tube
I take it that it was the only one at the time of your comment right ?!?
Great Video!!! Looking forward to seeing more.
Time out is that a small chopper in your garage? Good job btw
Damn. Engine looks like it was run on yellow mustard!
This video was really satisfying to watch haha. The time lapse was just fun to watch.
Thankyou for the video
Great video, thanks for sharing!
Absolutely loved the video man. Great job guys. And the dark purple really fits the motor well. Definitely had to hit the subscribe and the like button!
Very nice fellas, appreciate the vid. I got one of these in my garage i'm rebuilding for a grand am engine swap
Hey. I'm doing a 4.8TT for an s2000
Awesome video compilation guys. I’ve been thinking of doing something similar and seeing you guys pull off it off is truly an inspiration. It’s definitely on my bucket list of things to do before I die. Keep up the great work. P.S. SUBBED!!!!
First 3 mins and I'm already loving it , nice lighting , nice visual learning for me !
#Subscribed!!!! 👍 👍 👍
Thank you!
WTF this just randomly popped up and last week I started painting my engine with that same paint and color!!!
What casting heads are those
They're perimeter bolt heads 👎
Luv the channel guys; I wanted to know what ya'll used to cleanup the engine and how.Thanks
Thanks! Here's the video where we tackled the clean and paint : ua-cam.com/video/QAvDUeOVtgg/v-deo.html
People who don’t appreciate the ls have never taken one apart before , 6 bolt main caps commmmmon when you see a sbf compared to the ls it’s obvious why the 302 splits in half lol
nice video. How much engine building experience did you two have before tackling this project? Also, what vehicle did this end up in? Thanks
Have u guys daño the engine yet I want to see how much horse power it actually makes ?
Since when did 5.3s come with flat top pistons? Last time I checked they always came with dished pistons
Late model GenIV aluminium block engines had flat top pistons, so did the Gen III L33 5.3L aluminium engine.
@@johnwehunt4305 ahhh gotcha
@@johnwehunt4305 This is an iron block Gen III...
I did not see any assembly lube!!!
Ben Becker oil is perfectly fine
Happily subbing to some awesome guys here! Love the video. Gives me some guidance and motivation in my own build!
Thank you!
It would be nice to know which of you is doing each stage
Cool vid... If this 5.3 makes 350whp then i will hit the sub button lol. Keep wrenchin guys
Crystal Malek might ass well just get a 6.0 its rated at 345hp
Stock 5.3 with a tune does. So will this one. Easy. I'll guess 416 first run.
LS1 cars dont even hit over 400 whp without a cam and tune. I have seen a cammed 5.3 get a tune at CSP and not break 300whp.
@@crystalmalek7129 because the LS1 intake is restrictive
Good compilation. I see your loc journey too
Its cool to see you all do this at home and I have in the past as well. That being said you should warn inexperienced people about installing the crank pulley the way you did. Never beat on the crank it will damage the thrust bearing, never run the crank bolt on to draw pulley on as you can pull the threads right out of the crank, put the ring compressor on the piston before you try to do so on the deck, miss an oil control ring and could cause quite a bit of damage and waste alot of money. I only say this so other future builders wont observe the techniques you used and think that is the proper way to do this type of project. Why so much oil in the piston bores? for dramatic video effect? it looked cool but not sure of the purpose.
I mean he don't seem like a beginner or anything but as a viewer if I don't see him assembly lube being applied during the build, I'm left to guess if he did or not. I ASSUME they did but not seeing it applied makes me wonder what if...
Why are there so many folks hating?!
What's even funnier, can almost guarantee most of them have never done any real engine work themselves. Also, since we actually show the work being done vs talking about work being done (like most automotive channels), it allows for discrepancies and nit-picking of methods.
They also all missed the entire point of this build series. Low Budget and DIY mindset.
I was so not expecting purple lol but it looks pretty tight
Dope video!! Found the video by accident and ended up subbing
I want one of those intakes, could you send me the info on it
Word of advise. Never skip going to the machine shop on a build/rebuild. That’s all.
Word of advice, never jump to conclusions without having all the details or facts. Machine shop was used, but obviously we cant film that process.
TurboShotIncredible I watched ya boy use a palm sander on those heads fam..
@@TurboShotIncredible for what? did they balance the rotating assembly? The impression of the video is you two doing this at home.
Yes, balance rotating assembly, cam bearings and something else that eludes my memory atm
@@TurboShotIncredible good move with the cam bearings and balancing any engine for that matter.
Dude, I'd love to bring my 5.3l GXP to you guys for a rebuilt..500hp oh yeah...id pay for sure. Just had my trany rebuilt and was wracked over a pommer 🐎. Car was fine til it hit the shop, after I got it back, the radiator was cracked and they blamed me...no codes, but when I got the GXP back, it tossed 6...so all finished...where can I bring it. Loves the video guys.. awesomeness wrk.
Great video guys!
Subscribed! Love seeing videos like this, very inspirational and shows that you can do the vast majority of the motor work out of your own shop! Awesome guys love it!
Purple?!?! WHAT!!!
