  • In this video, I get an initial look into the health of my 5.3 LS motor. I have a friend stop by and give me his opinion on the condition of my engine. He's got me half-convinced to rebuild this motor myself. Also, I make a pretty big announcement at the end of the video.

    That snoring had the LS cam chop 😆. That's not a bad start to project ZRS 😎

    Rings, bearings, bolts, and gaskets is all Id throw at that engine. And of course clean and paint, maybe a new cam and lifters. We had that SAME Christmas tree for years. Great minds think alike! Thanks for sharing!

    When you scrap silverusto you ought to do a slideshow of pics of it from over the years if you have any. Like when you first got it BEFORE the rust lol. Love these trucks but HATE the rust. Unfortunately all trucks are pretty much doomed in this region.

    Let the engine shop do the machine work and check clearances but do the assembly yourself. You will get a lot of satisfaction out of knowing that your hands put it all together.
