Good Friday afternoon Trav..how much did you pay for your torque wrench.. I need to buy a good one not a cheap one.. because my AFR 195cc heads are almost complete by my engine builder at golen race engines.. @@TWAMotorsports
@@TWAMotorsportsgood Friday afternoon Trav... how much did you pay for your torque wrench? I need to buy a nice one no cheapy.. because my AFR 195cc head's are almost complete with the upgraded heavy duty valve springs and upgraded ARP 3/8 rocker arms studs my engine builder is doing to my heads at golen race engines...
@@TWAMotorsportsHello I own a Chevrolet express 6.0 LQ4 with 90,000 miles, I live in France in a region where the climate is temperate, I do 6000 miles per year, I drive mainly in the summer, and I tow a 6000 lbs trailer, should I stick to the oil recommended by the manufacturer 5W30 or can I use a 5W40 for example???
@@TWAMotorsports In your opinion is it so serious to go from a 5w30 to a 5w40?, knowing that I drive the vehicle mainly in the summer where the temperature frequently rises to 100°F without forgetting that I am constantly towing a 6000lbs caravan , aren't you sure that the 5w30 is not a little too liquid to ride in these conditions???
Trick flow makes a plastic adapter for the timing chain uses the two bottom bolts from the cam retainer might be something to review in future builds I don’t know how well they hold up
I just learned that our last remaining engine machine shop has closed in my local town. Now we'll have to take engines to a city hours away and let them sit for weeks and months until they 'get to it'. Such a sad day.
Great information! I want to rebuild a lq9 for my blown v6 single cab. Around how much the shop charge you? The gen 4 style etc. If I can know. I want the most out of the motor for now (porting a new set of heads 243) and later on slap a LSA. Will be waiting for the next updates of this lq4!
The reason the Gen 3 pistons arent compatible with the Gen 4 rods is the Gen 3 rods and pistons use a press fit pin, the newer rods and pistons use a floating pin
Nice job on building the 6.0 liter.. take your time with it...👍
Slow and Steady Keith. That's the plan

With all this engine work lately you'll become a confident engine builder before you know it. Always enjoy your videos. ✌🏻
Not comfortable with machine shop stuff

I would use 5w30

That does suck

My cost was $1200 for machine work pistons and rods
Don't forget your barbell!!!
Over rated but machine shop takes care of that.

Exactly
