Hey bud glad you are building your ls! I very sternly recommend NOT installing the arp rod bolts. 1) the big end will NOT be round 2) the factory bolts aren’t a weak point. You’ll probably bend the rod before they let out. I bought some for my stock block and even asked about it on yellow bullet. Turned around and returned them.
Even though you put them in, you can take them out still. Better than spinning a bearing… and the rods are cracked cap, so you can’t machine them basically
Tommy just take your time we all know that you have been busy you will be happy in the long run, I'm proud of you for doing the work yourself. That was priceless when grandma wanted to hear tires squealing nothing but memories. God bless and as always be safe 👍
Hey Tommy I started following SRC about 4 years ago I've literally watched you grow up. Your driving skill and mechanical skill have come a long way you are doing awesome God-bless you and Allison
Glad to to see you are making really good progress on this project! Go slow and build it the way you want. No regrets when it's all back together. Fantastic vid.
Just put mine in the garage. Build season has begun. Hey that oil pump needs centered before tightening. Have to use feeler guages or there is a tool made for doing that. The pump gear will eat the pump housing. Always enjoy watching. Quite the family everyone helping each other.
Tommy, someone may have already told you this but I was told when putting the oil pump on an LS that the pump itself needed to be "lashed" to the snout of the crank. I took the cover off of the pump and placed two .002 filler gages on the opposite sides from one another to get the proper center. There are several FB videos to help with the process. Funny, I did the same thing when I put the camshaft/top timing gear in my LS build as you and Billy did. I forgot to put the cam retainer plate on. This is a big "oops" due to the fact that not only does the plate keep the cam from walking forward but it also seals up the upper oil passage. If one forgets to put the plate on and starts the engine, there will be little to no oil pressure. NOT GOOD! Several of my friends who have built numerous gen 1, gen 2 Small Block Chevys, and other older engine designs have made this mistake out of habit. This is why these same friends of mine told me to pay attention when I built my LS setup. They are the same in some ways but also have some critical differences. Keep it up!! God's Blessings!! Acts 20:24
I love old mopars! My dad was a technician at westside dodge in Columbus (was later called trader buds dodge for years after that) but when I was a kid he had a 67? Or 68 real factory pro stock hemi dart . With the seat belt strap for the windows and all of that lol I loved that car and was just always amazed by it and remember going to the track and watching him race it ect so even though I have mostly had Camaros and Corvettes and have built a few of each now I have always been a mopar fan deep down..I've never been able to find the right one for me as of yet but I will find either a dart or duster to build an have fun with at some point! I love watching what you guys are doing with the dart and hope all the best for you and your whole family! And note: ive done probably 2 dozen or so cam swaps in various ls based engines and the slop in the timing chain is very common and even though it makes you feel like it is a possible problem it's never caused any sort of problem for me or my experience with them if that helps at all lol ive never had timing jumping around or anything like that and that's what I was worried about with the looseness of the chain but never had any issues...hope this helps you feel atleast a bit better lol
Tommy just a heads up ..if you replace the rod bolts with aftermarket and they're a press in rod bolt you will definitely need to resize the rods because when pressed into the rod it distorts the rod and will cause tight bearings. And junk a bottom end quickly
@@durbinsgarage2692 you can resize ls rods... you hone them. Because arp fasteners have more clamp load it makes the rod egg shaped. Running a hone thru them fixes that. Can you cut the caps and resize them? notta
I'd just reuse new factory torque to yield bolts. I have arp bolts in my rods from machine shop and I question pulling them because I don't know if they torqued it to a value or used a stretch gauge.. I spose I could call and ask and feel like a dumbass hahaha
Rod bolts are the most important fasteners in a motor. If alls your doing is putting it back together. And aren't gunna resize the rods, new factory torque to yield bolts are what you wanna use. If you have bob resize the rods. Use arp
That was great seeing "grandma" go for a ride! "I wanna hear some tires squealing"! Cool grandma!! She ain't afraid of a "slopar"! LOL! That Dart is anything but slow!! The look on her face when she got back was priceless!! Good job Alison!! Reminded me of when I gave my Mom a ride in my 71 Chevelle, she was ok until it barked 2nd gear and it sat her back in the seat!! Oh the memories!! Good editing Tommy! You're awesome! Hope to see you sometime! ✌😎
I am impressed with the work that you have done on the C-10. I bet there is a lot that you could do on getting your S-10 back together. It's a beautiful truck that needs to be seen on the track.
Might want to look into the 3 shim method for the oil pump. Helps center up the pump on the crank, so that it lives longer and keeps pressure and volume longer.
Everything is coming along Looking Great 👍 Great Content and Video Have a Great Day Great to see Billy giving you a new experience and will to help yourself God Bless Gen2 Team
I just blew my 6.0 turbo motor. I’ve got an aluminum 5.3 and came here to see what you did. It’ll have the same BTR cam that came out of the 6.0, ARP rod bolts and head studs. My machine shop guy said that the 5.3 like to hold together better under boost.
Hey Tommy, It seems like it would be better in the long run to put your valve job money into a better set of heads. I do the other Hoskinson channels, so I can see that you have been busy. Thank you for bringing us along for your projects too. God bless you all.
Tommy I agree with you on assuming branding/logos should be installed in a way that it can be seen! I'm 24 and no mechanic but when I was S400 swapping my cummins with the new 2nd gen manifold I installed the manifold upside down because the logo was on "top" and didn't realize it was wrong until my charge pipe met the shock tower. Had to unbolt everything from the head again just to flip the manifold the proper direction, made me wish I had a Billy to tell me haha!
Tommy I highly recommend pulling that oil pump back off and taking the face plate off and filling the gears full of a light weight assembly lube if u don't have a priming tool that way u don't suffer from cavitation on fire up and starve it for oil
Looking good Tommy! Was happy to see you and the 5.3 build series. I'm currently building a 5.3 for my 89 camaro so these videos have been a big help coming from another guy on his first engine build...
I’m very proud of you Tommy 2💪🏼💪🏼glad to see you doing ur own thing with a little bit help but ur better off doing it to ur own trucks and cars man keep the videos coming I understand it’s a job trying to do everything you guys do but very proud of you you guys
I love how the whole format and editing styles between all 3 of your families channels are completely different and so unique in thier own way. Your editing skills just keep getting better each episode, Tommy, and I can't wait for the next one!!
Awwww Man I was so waiting for Allison to take the Dart across the border and let that baby eat on one of those open roads. I bet Grandma would have definitely been in to do that but kudos to Allison for ignoring the bad choice voice in her head and keeping Grandma safe. Thanks for the great video Tommy!
Did not see you shim the oil pump, I understand it is fairly critical to pump surviving long term. Watch powernation when they rebuild a junkyard 5.3...good show...btw, you are young and I think your content is pretty damn good!
Glad to see you back young Thomas. Can't wait to hear and see that truck running and finished. It takes time to do a good job, don't rush cause you'll regret it later
When I did the cam in my LS1 I had no tensioner and used a LS2 cam/crank gear with a LS2 chain and mine had slop, just run it. Make sure you inspect your cam bearings
I have same cam in my 5.3 love it. I don't even run a tencher on mine. Spraying it with 250 for two years. Just damaged piston top two weeks ago. 175$ for new pistons,pins and rings be back next week. Ls got to love them The old man better put the juice to that sb if he stay out on that truck turbocharged. I run low 6 with 250 nitrous on 5.3
I think you’re doing great on the truck you’ve inspired me to do an S-10 chassis swap on my 48 Ply, grandma is a hoot that is so cool she likes race cars keep up the good work.love y’all
Oven cleaner works good on some really dirty stuff..I bought an old black s10 with a black truck cap..I used some oven cleaner on the truck..never would have known under all that grime.the truck was Robin egg blue with a white strip.and the truck cap was actually white.
Love this cause I’m building a 5.3 I’m wanting to stroke it out to 383 but I haven’t made my mind up between a forged 5.3 or a fully built 383. Also your transitions are so clean 🤙🏽
Awesome video Tommy, remember It doesn't matter what you look like, it's the content of your heart. Always enjoy OMG, SRC and Gen 2 videos...keep up the good work. My wife asked me How you got the nickname Tommy 2 Guns, what the back story on that???
The E85 will for sure clean it off. Ran gas for years and my pistons looked worse than that, changed to E85 and last time I took heads off the pistons looked brand new.
If you replace the rod bolts you should take you rods to Uncle Bob. Because the ARP bolts sometimes need reaming and can make the big end torque out of round.
Tommy if you can find the hold down for a base plate for an old style number jack they make a good handle to install a cam. They do sell a tool for the same thing but you don't need to spend that money for one.
Take your time and do it the way you want it done and no matter how long it takes it will all pay off in the end and you will enjoy it no matter how long it takes to get it finished
My first engine I built I silicone everything. The valve covers leaked I just kept putting silicone to it..when I test drove it I kept blowing the oil filter off...did that 4 times.then pulled the engine...I had to pull it apart and take out the massive amount of silicone that was in the engine..it worked great after that..learn the hard way.
Whatever they use to clean pistons probably does more for piling grit in the ring lands than anything that would help otherwise. At least if it comes off while the engine is running it won't be all at once and dry as well. They probably think a cylinder isn't broke in unless it's polished too.
Hey Tommy no sweat on the oil pump.. I put my electric water pump on my sbc upside down lol off course I didn't figure it out until after I posted my engine pics on Facebook haha!
Tommy I was going to say before you said anything you either got a wide angled lens or new Camera so funny. Crazy how we notice such small differences in video. Looks great keep it up
It's always fun to get your or somone elses Grandma into the car and take them for a ride! Excellent content Tommy ,just wish it was more often. (hint hint) See you on the next one.
You took the Falcon motor to Missouri, then said would be ready in a week or so. I understand you're not in a hurry for it, but it's been quite a while. What's the latest on it? Love the progress you're making on your C10 and learning as you go. Good job so far Tommy
HI ALL Just wanna take the time to thank-you for all your entertaining video's in 2022 it has not been kind to our family and nursing loved one;;s in this climate /covid in there last days has been hard HOWEVER with yourself ALISON' Jeff and ya dad billy mom Alison mom 'uncle buck'o the cats dogs and all that have been in your vids lol has made it a lot easier just to have a laugh and interest in what ya doing and how ya go so thankyou from my family to yours Merry christmas and a wild fast 2023 thx
Tommy do some more research on the rod bolts before installing them it's best to resize the rods when using different bolts. Arp claim you can put them in and run it. I've installing Chinese bolts and arp and them both be out of round. The stock rod bolts will be no problem for the power you're gonna make the rod will break first And that engine being a DOD motor you will have to put block off plugs in the oil passages in the valley and run a 4.8 valley cover. Once the engine is assembled with valve train and spun over that timing chain will tighten up.
This still going for your daily? Coming along nicely Tommy glad to see you taken on a whole project of our own. Only way to learn bro start from the bottom and work your way on up.
Sorry again for the lack of content guys. Things are gonna speed back up here soon! Time to get this torpedo heater out of the box! Lol
Yeah it looks like the warm weather is about to be over time for the heat to come out
Hey bud glad you are building your ls! I very sternly recommend NOT installing the arp rod bolts. 1) the big end will NOT be round 2) the factory bolts aren’t a weak point. You’ll probably bend the rod before they let out.

No apologies necessary. A big fan of all your family's channels. You are busy as hell and working hard, be proud of your work ethic- well earned.
Hey Tommy, do you plan to do a video giving a rundown of parts you are using for the build.
Tommy just take your time we all know that you have been busy you will be happy in the long run, I'm proud of you for doing the work yourself. That was priceless when grandma wanted to hear tires squealing nothing but memories. God bless and as always be safe 👍
Well said
So cool that grandma went for a ride with Allison, the smile on her face when they came back was priceless!!
I think you forgot the camshaft retaining plate. Hence the the bolt holes in the block. Billy remembered it. When I posted
Hey Tommy I started following SRC about 4 years ago I've literally watched you grow up. Your driving skill and mechanical skill have come a long way you are doing awesome God-bless you and Allison
Me too
Tommy I love seeing you and Billy working on your truck together your a lucky little guy
Glad to to see you are making really good progress on this project! Go slow and build it the way you want. No regrets when it's all back together. Fantastic vid.
Be patient tommy, it will all come together. Remember everyone is pulling for you especially those closest to you!

Ls rod bolts thread into the rod
Billy it's awesomw how you help Tommy with his projects you're a great big brother.
Tommy and Alison it has been watching you both grow as both drivers and learning! Cant wait for your channel to hit 50000 subs!
Man y’all are fixing to have a real badass spring. Good for you guys. Keep up the amazing work, the extra effort you put into cameras really shows.
Tommy, you will want to have the rods resized at Uncle Bobs if you use the ARP rod bolts to be safe and not risk spinning a bearing.
Cant résize ls rods theyre cracked rods.
My thoughts exactly. Saying goes you can lead a horse to water, and you most likely already know the rest.
@@durbinsgarage2692 you can resize ls rods... you hone them. Because arp fasteners have more clamp load it makes the rod egg shaped. Running a hone thru them fixes that. Can you cut the caps and resize them? notta

Was cool that Billy was explaining what he was doing when installing the timing gears...love the shop vids,and you guys do it In a cool way..

Billy made a good investment getting Allison that Dart. That one car brought so much content and you know Allison couldn't be more stoked.

When Billy forgot that plate…I was like oh sht…here we go lol
Damn Billy is rocking that Canadian tuxedo.
I love how the whole format and editing styles between all 3 of your families channels are completely different and so unique in thier own way. Your editing skills just keep getting better each episode, Tommy, and I can't wait for the next one!!

Gramps: I wanna hear tires squealing.
Jeff: no we don’t.
DUDE, I GOT GOOSEBUMPS WHEN GRANDMA WAS STRAPPED IN SAYING, " I WANT BURNING RUBBER" WITH EXCITEMENT AND ANTICIPATION, SO VERY COOL!!!
Did not see you shim the oil pump, I understand it is fairly critical to pump surviving long term. Watch powernation when they rebuild a junkyard 5.3...good show...btw, you are young and I think your content is pretty damn good!
Glad things are good. Family time is a must.
You should hit the Block up with a little propane torch before use an oven cleaner that’s how that stuff works the best
Glad to see you back young Thomas. Can't wait to hear and see that truck running and finished. It takes time to do a good job, don't rush cause you'll regret it later
When I did the cam in my LS1 I had no tensioner and used a LS2 cam/crank gear with a LS2 chain and mine had slop, just run it. Make sure you inspect your cam bearings
Hey Tommy, it’s nice to see a young buck like you working your way up humble and doing things on your own. Keep it up 👍🏼💪🏻
Keep up the good work Tommy. It's a long process. You might want to insulate your garage eventually. The stepwise is coming along.
I'm really happy to see all of the progress you have made.That should make a nice package.
Sometimes arp rod bolts will make your rods out of round and should be honed
There is a cover that goes over the cam before the trimming gear with out it you won’t have oil pressure love what you do
That's what I thought too... I hope they see this.
I have same cam in my 5.3 love it. I don't even run a tencher on mine. Spraying it with 250 for two years. Just damaged piston top two weeks ago. 175$ for new pistons,pins and rings be back next week. Ls got to love them
The old man better put the juice to that sb if he stay out on that truck turbocharged. I run low 6 with 250 nitrous on 5.3
Heck yeah Tommy getting er done ✔️ 🙄 good to see two good ole bros working together cant wait till it is up and running
At least there's one done and ready to go when the next season comes that dart is going to be a blast
I really love how y'all help each other out and teach each other new stuff or ways of doing stuff love it
I think you’re doing great on the truck you’ve inspired me to do an S-10 chassis swap on my 48 Ply, grandma is a hoot that is so cool she likes race cars keep up the good work.love y’all
LOOKS LIKE A L33. THAT IS A GREAT START FOR ANY 5.3 PERFORMANCE BUILD!!
LS3'S ARE 6.2L
Oven cleaner works good on some really dirty stuff..I bought an old black s10 with a black truck cap..I used some oven cleaner on the truck..never would have known under all that grime.the truck was Robin egg blue with a white strip.and the truck cap was actually white.
Good Job Tommy Learning Allot
Love this cause I’m building a 5.3 I’m wanting to stroke it out to 383 but I haven’t made my mind up between a forged 5.3 or a fully built 383. Also your transitions are so clean 🤙🏽
A pleasure Tommy as always. Thank you for the update 👍and God bless all
Was about to comment about the retainer plate. Lol thank god you boys caught that
I recently got the Sony FE PZ 16-35mm f4 but I still keep going back to the 24mm 1.4 haha! Rad that I found your channel man
Lens definitely makes a difference! Keep up the great work Tommy! That ass end of the Dart looks freakn sweet! Wide ass tires set it off!
Termi X and wilwoods and a 5.3 lol! Get those parts stocked so youll have them this winter when you're snowed in!
The timing chain slack is normal for sure!
I LOVED watching Allison take her Grandma for a ride?? ❤
Awesome video Tommy, remember It doesn't matter what you look like, it's the content of your heart. Always enjoy OMG, SRC and Gen 2 videos...keep up the good work.
My wife asked me How you got the nickname Tommy 2 Guns, what the back story on that???
I think it was Billy that called him that first, when they put 2 kits of nitrous on Tommy's blue S10.
The E85 will for sure clean it off. Ran gas for years and my pistons looked worse than that, changed to E85 and last time I took heads off the pistons looked brand new.
Tommy, go to the hardware store and get a 36" piece of 1/2" black pipe and use it for a handle on your stand. Makes it much easier to turn.
If you replace the rod bolts you should take you rods to Uncle Bob. Because the ARP bolts sometimes need reaming and can make the big end torque out of round.
Tommy if you can find the hold down for a base plate for an old style number jack they make a good handle to install a cam. They do sell a tool for the same thing but you don't need to spend that money for one.
@gen2Garage7 Hi I'm replying to the message about being randomly selected to win something. Please let me know what you need from me.
You forgot to put the filler gauge on the oil pump to align it with the crankshaft
Take your time and do it the way you want it done and no matter how long it takes it will all pay off in the end and you will enjoy it no matter how long it takes to get it finished
No stock bottom end and pro mod billy lol. Y’all do good stuff fellas keep it up.
Good to see you working on your own stuff again sir!. Happy Holidays from Texas.
Good stuff and Happy Belated Thanks giving
My first engine I built I silicone everything. The valve covers leaked I just kept putting silicone to it..when I test drove it I kept blowing the oil filter off...did that 4 times.then pulled the engine...I had to pull it apart and take out the massive amount of silicone that was in the engine..it worked great after that..learn the hard way.
Tommy you have the perfect face for radio
Love the progress on the truck!! Looking great!
Whatever they use to clean pistons probably does more for piling grit in the ring lands than anything that would help otherwise. At least if it comes off while the engine is running it won't be all at once and dry as well. They probably think a cylinder isn't broke in unless it's polished too.
I can't wait for u to finish this build I'm excited as hell for u this is going to be one bad truck
Hey! That Dewalt sounds just like Jeff’s Jeep!
Hey Tommy no sweat on the oil pump.. I put my electric water pump on my sbc upside down lol off course I didn't figure it out until after I posted my engine pics on Facebook haha!
That's what she said, put your 5.3" between my frame rails, you said it Tommy
I personally would put a 6.0" between the frame rails, my truck has 8.0" between it's frame rails, my son, little fish has a 7.4" and I'm sorry guys
Get some aluminum bright from Napa. Works great! Make sure to read the directions
Tommy I was going to say before you said anything you either got a wide angled lens or new Camera so funny. Crazy how we notice such small differences in video. Looks great keep it up
Congrats on the progress
It's always fun to get your or somone elses Grandma into the car and take them for a ride! Excellent content Tommy ,just wish it was more often. (hint hint) See you on the next one.
Not gonna get very far without a cam retainer plate!
You took the Falcon motor to Missouri, then said would be ready in a week or so. I understand you're not in a hurry for it, but it's been quite a while. What's the latest on it? Love the progress you're making on your C10 and learning as you go. Good job so far Tommy
Thanks for bringing us up to speed Tommy
HI ALL
Just wanna take the time to thank-you for all your entertaining video's in 2022 it has not been kind to our family and nursing loved one;;s in this climate /covid in there last days has been hard HOWEVER with yourself ALISON' Jeff and ya dad billy mom Alison mom 'uncle buck'o the cats dogs and all that have been in your vids lol has made it a lot easier just to have a laugh and interest in what ya doing and how ya go so thankyou from my family to yours Merry christmas and a wild fast 2023 thx
Ur daily actually looks like a pretty nice truck !!!
Sloppy timing chain is common on the LS. That really isn’t a tensioner, it there on most standard shift cars to minimize chain slack between shifts.
@gen 2 garage use ac condencer coil cleaner to wash the block it will clean it really good
Ending is mint 👌😁
I was about to say the cam plate wasn't put in. I forgot mine last week. Got everything back together and it was laying in my toolbox
Tommy do some more research on the rod bolts before installing them it's best to resize the rods when using different bolts. Arp claim you can put them in and run it. I've installing Chinese bolts and arp and them both be out of round. The stock rod bolts will be no problem for the power you're gonna make the rod will break first
And that engine being a DOD motor you will have to put block off plugs in the oil passages in the valley and run a 4.8 valley cover.
Once the engine is assembled with valve train and spun over that timing chain will tighten up.
Dude I'm so happy for you! Keep on keeping on!!
On my Pontiac 455 stroker motor I used a .010 undersized timing chain for the slack.
This still going for your daily? Coming along nicely Tommy glad to see you taken on a whole project of our own. Only way to learn bro start from the bottom and work your way on up.
" it ain't that fast it's a Mopar" glad you said it and not me
