Part 2 Jegs ATK Vortec Crate Engine Tear Down
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 гру 2019
- Opening up my 0282 L31 350 (5.7) 5700 1996-2000 Vortec GM truck, van or SUV replacement crate engine. The plan was to take some of the stock parts for another build and replace them with aftermarket better parts but then things didn't go as intended!
FYI I have an engine on another stand a few feet away with no intake and covered with a clear engine bag. That engine has been sitting for over a decade and has no rust in the valley like this crate does now.

Yes, that spring tool is pretty slick!
SRC does all the new and reman GM crate engines for GM since 2020. ATK out of grand prairie tx is who does ATK and VERGE reman engines and power torque for oreillys.
Thx, good to know! This crate engine was purchased summer 2019
Just the video I was looking for
Gald it was helpful
Whoa! Awesome content man! Thanks!
Glad you liked it!
How is it holding up?
The best 350 crates were the black goodwrench 290hp ones that were like $1500 back in 1999/2000…..i had a ‘81 suburban k/10 4x4 with one and it was a beast……now those engines sell for at least $3k if you can even find them…..think its been like 10 yrs since ive seen one being advertised……summit used to sell them
At the time GM vortec crates were $500ish more than the ATK, kick myself for not spending the extra cause now GM are $1K more than that! Still rumors at the time, the GM ones were not so great....
Was that Goodwrench engines new? Or rebuilt one selling for $1500?
@@Ron_Masterjohn this was back in the late 90’s early 2000’s when the new longblocks were roughly $1300/$1500 depending on where you got them…..now they want like $4k for the same thing, probably more than likely refurbished at best too!!! Not to mention the $800/$1000 core
Those head bolts are members of the ABC mafia😂😂
I went with the GM performance Crate yeahhh.
Wish I did but too late now!
@@BOOT I was warned about issues with ATK quality on a forum.
Yah I shoulda asked on one!
@@HustleSoundz how and why are you blaming ATK for moisture problems??? That's like ordering a hood and blaming the company for it getting dented in shipping 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I just ordered a 302 built by atk from jegs. We will see!
GL If it's gonna sit any, fog it soon as yah get it!
How it go?
Thats a great looking block internally in my opinion. Seen worse and I've ran worse.
You sound like Norm Macdonald
So I’m reading some of these blocks were bored out. Does that mean theoretically they would make a little more power than advertised?
Potentially yes, that one is overbore by .040 if i rem right. But even factory engines can vary their power output a bit(more so in the past, production is more consistent these days). This vortec crate had other things that would/could hurt power, so maybe it'd be a wash or down even run as is. People use to say corvette engines made more by the detail and care of their assembly, back when the vette plant assembled their own engines. I bought flat tops to replace the dish pistons since I have to take it apart anyway. Thinner head gaskets are a common cheap crate engine upgrade to bump compression & power. Camshafts are of course another effect cheaper upgrade.
What is the bore size. I know they bore them up to .060 just wondering
Just measured it for Part 3 the Shortblock, It's overbore! I didn't wanna make you wait for the upload but I gotta try n measure a bit more to confirm the actual size. I tried to look up the pistons and asked ATK I can confirm it's not .060, I'd be bummed if it was!
@@BOOT thanks for the reply. I'm thinking of purchasing on of these engines of an 83 k10. But I really dont want a .060 over block.
@@thomasdebord1144 I shoulda mentioned in my first reply, back when I got the engine I asked ATK if they were bored and how much. Their reply was sometimes, just depends if the core needs it. Guess some are refurbished with hardly any miles, prob warranty replacement or w/e
Run it. Have seen worse sit for years with significant run time. They'll clean up and run ok for what it is.
Are the gaskets on that motor fucked up or is it just me! You took the heads off a newly refurbished engine, so are those gaskets bad or are they supposed to look like that?
That's the way they look it's normal and I've run that same engine for 4yrs now wide open all the time with no issues I think people like to complain alot and expect a brand new flawless engine for 3k and that's just not going to happen
Rust isnt to bad, run it, change oil after an hour or 2 running
Could you not dingle ball hone cylinders??
It's an option and I do have one, will be covered in Part 3
Ours was a mess so far ash on every piston ash in valley ash in heads. Numbers not corresponding to the right piston positions.
Way to late now, but just because I'm working on a set of 062 right now I noticed thy where different heads on it about 5 min n video. 062 has 3 humps on the end where 906 has just 1.. but 1 of my 062 r cranked if u know of anyone has a 062 tht thy will sale please let me know 🤷♂️🙏🙏🙏 I have the vortec motor n the machine shop now gettin 1 sleeve put n it cause the guy let it get rained on and 1 cylinder was realy bad, but the rest of the cylinder can b honed and it only had 80,000 miles on it when it was pulled out.. I bought a set -7cc dome forged pistons "srp" to go n it with a new crank, new melling HV oil pump, new rings, .600 lift Harvard's cam "might b to big" 🙉 I said if it don't run good atleast it will sound good..🤣 and i was gonna run the vortec heads also but 1 of them is cracked so idk I might get a set of them cheep aluminum heads off ebay. But ima run a single plan aluminum intake with a 750 double pump carburetor. but if u have anything u might b willing to part with tht might help me out please let me know.. he said the block n everything should b ready next week so I'm n head of a 062 vortec head like bad or a set of aluminum heads to go on it.. cause I'm planning to putting the heads, intake,, carburetor on the new 400 sbc.. cause this is just a temp motor for my son's 98 stepside s-10 I'm gonna go all out on a 400 sbc but I just wanted to get the lil truck running to work all the bugs out of the truck and then build the BIG motor for it.. anyway sorry for rambling on an on, but I love doing this typ of stuff.. again if u have anything tht might work for me please hit me back...🙏
Mixed heads that's a bad sign. thumbs down to ATK.
Think I read in the Jegs reviews that someone else's ATK vortec crate engine also had two diff casting heads. If I wasn't gonna port them, then I might be kicking myself for not checking. Also I've not checked them out entirely yet, so one could be smaller chambers(surfaced, prob the used head) or the valves could be sunk(again the used head). Gonna run em either way!
@@BOOT different casting numbers doesn't mean you got two different heads it means that you got a newer or older run of the same head used with the same machine so they will be identical it's not a big deal lol that engine looked pretty good for a two thousand dollar motor lol
that aint really any significant rust
2 different types of heads newer version and older version? 😳🤷🏼♂️🤮
Why are you disassembling a motor you can't afford?
It's common to buy a base crate and mod it up for more horsepower. Plan was to mild port the heads, change the cam, better windage tray and oil pan n so on. I've bought lots of things with PP zero interest payments and I make the payments
There's not enough surface rust on or in that motor to hurt anything at all I've seen people run far worse
I've seen a lot of junk run good enough, the truck I bought for it's vortec 350 could prob still be running with the bad cam bearing. I bought this crate to mod and if I had bought a GM then I'd be a lot better off! Still your money, if you wanna save a bit n have a rusty engine go for it
@@BOOT I don't understand your logic you took that motor apart in front of your Audience with nothing wrong with it and you're bitching about rust and that's your fault for storing it for six months in a garage that isn't climate controlled bro come on now lol
I planned pull the heads from the start not tear it down and check, fix and clean/deRust everything. They should of plugged the cylinders but I guess you didn't watch how I said, when I got the Jegs crate that I put plugs in it or how I also said don't really blame them for that. I should of fogged the cylinders anyways but fogging wouldn't of helped the other areas(block, crank, rods because they looked nice and oily) and they would of rusted anywhere. They should of used a good rust preventive like Blueprint Engines did on the shortblock that has sat in the same garage for years longer! Far as my comment bout getting a GM well that is towards all the other things I've found wrong with it in this and the following videos, I plan to find more when I check clearances, some say they have found missing rings with these crates. I bet there are a lot of things you wouldn't understand, I suggest you watch videos more closely before you comment
I have seen brand new engines sit for years in a non temp controlled garages with flat tappet cams. A little bit of tranny fluid and prime before start . She be just fine !! @@BOOT
Thats horrible….i will never ever ever buy a crate engine….better off buying a used one and rebuilding it yourself for a fraction of the price……you ever consider a LS swap….best thing ive ever done
Canadian crate engines in Canada are amazing !!! Exactly what they say is exactly what you get. They will dare you to take it apart !
