The 5.7 vortec is one of the easiest engines to work on but you still have to be organized. Pay attention to what you're doing and have a good time knowing you did it yourself 👍👍👍👍
I have the same engine and the oil pressure on my truck at high idle is at 40psi, but at a red light, at idle it drops to 20psi. On your video it looks like ur truck does the same, is that normal?

Omg I’m about to put my engine back together on my 96 c1500, hopefully it’ll sound as good as yours.👍🏻
If you let the muffler rust off like mine maybe it will
@@montsmatic 😂 or drill some holes in the muffler gives it a good cam sound
Need to replace my head gasket too on my 97 k1500 5.7. I’m nervous to do it. Where did you get the paper/info the the torque specs for the head bolts?

That can be more normal, but my oil pressure issues have gotten worse, I am rebuilding the engine now. 20 psi is fine at idle.
Did u pull the oil pan and clean that too or did u do a oil flush
I flushed all the oil. There ended up being crankshaft damage from the engine running on water for a short period.
@@montsmatic thanks for the reply and I hope I don't have the same issue but I'm sure probably do since I had to drive it home with water in my oil
What did u use to clean ur pistons with
Carb clean, wd40 and a wire wheel
