After finding that the LS3 we purchase had a damage chain guide we decided to take the engine apart and rebuild it! Major thanks to Holley Performance for helping us with the build! www.holley.com/
You guys need to put a aftermarket harmonic balancer on it. It is the most common expensive problem to fix in LS's but if you do it now you won't have to spend the 8 hours ish labor in the future replacing it.
Completely agreed. Aftermarket is the way to go because the OEM ones just fail again. Plus pin it.
@@ScottO84 Yeah pinning it is also a good idea, especially on a built motor
THIS THIS THIS, TJ THIS!!!
is there a specific brand people use?
Teej you been playing golf. We need a hunt & co golf collection for the summer.
No, need some pickle ball paddles made!
Some club covers would be dope
Yess
If I could up this comment 1 million times I would. I’ve never bought Murch before, but if he came out with a golf collection, I would buy every last bit of it three times over. A headcover, a polo, a hat. Maybe even a hoodie for the winter months for those of us that can play all year round
He needs to go play with Tim
Love having dillon around. He brings so much energy and comedy to the videos, cant wait to see more of him.
I think his knowledge is more valuable than anything. It's good to have someone like him around
fr tho
Yess more
Underrated part of the video was him saying how much he loved filming the random stuff
Toxic energy
Running with the head bolts and dropping everything single one was hilarious 😂
😂😂😂😂😂 and poor lil Calvin had to pick em all up
I was dying 😂
He looked like a loot goblin from Diablo 4.
I legit laughed out loud😂😂😂
I lol'd
I know it’s a bummer for Danny, that he did not get his car on time, but I’m glad we know get more LS content on the channel. Danny is going to love the finished product.
I doubt that it’s a bummer for him😂 he got a surprise build and now gets to be hands on with everything. Im sure he’s pretty stoked with it all
@@babypinkbean Danny seem thrilled, even though he couldn’t get his surprise Miata rebuild on time.
@@AlexStricklinyeaa the actual surprise would’ve been fun for everyone but me personally I love being hands on, so if he’s anything like me then he’s probably glad it didn’t work out as they wanted at first 😂😂
@@babypinkbean that’s completely understandable. I’d want to work on my own car, if it was getting a major upgrade like a engine swap. The experience of working on your cars with your friends is always very fun.
Can't wait to hear the nice cam chops 🪓
Dillon is just TJs version of Johan. The team addition that keeps on giving.
Johan not funny though
@@Dropsey818but he’s really intelligent
@@mikehawk8744 not saying hes not a cool guy, i think hes a legend, just doesn't have that sense of humor,
Not anywhere close to as knowledgeable as Johan, but they serve the same purpose on their respective teams. I’d take Johan any day of the week respectfully
@@Leeoh949 hes not funny though, that was the point,
Double check the crank and cam sprockets- they have marks on them so you can line them up, it’s dumb easy. And Those aren’t aftermarket springs those are the “ls6” or the gm performance springs. They are fine for that cam, which if you do have the 525 is the biggest cam gm makes stock. Those bearing looked brand new. Lots of people said to do the ls2 tensioner but the gen4 engines have asymmetrical teeth on the cam sprocket, the spring type you replaced is made for it. The ls2 style will work I have one in my engine and it’s fine. And let me save you some time; check to make sure you have the fbody bellhousing, not the ctsv one. Otherwise your magnum-F will be cocked about 6 degrees to the right and you will drive yourself nuts trying to figure out why it doesn’t line up. (Ask me how I know) Also, the ls7 clutch with the stock fbody throw out bearing (not the green corvette one), pressure plate and flywheel fits perfectly. You don’t even need to measure throw out. Can’t wait to see this car all done 😎
I take it you have an ls3 powered car hahaha u seem like u have mastered the topic
@@DannyCourtney1 eh it’s a gen4 5.3 buts let’s just say I made every mistake twice along the way! 😂
@@jasonlouis5498and some people thinking you need school to learn everything. Make a lot of mistakes and you can learn a lot more 😂
I hope you all recognize how special the bond is with your crew! Dylan has been such an awesome addition to the channels, everyone should be so lucky as to have a 🦍 like him as a part of the group.
sense of humor is so good man,
I'm glad you guys went through the process and learned here for the next build. As I said in the last video, it's extremely common to see a lot of silver-ish metal shavings/flakes in a brand new engine that was just run in. A little bit odd that the timing chain guide broke but it is a plastic part and if this truly was a race truck build I can see this being a common occurence as it's likely the weakest part of the assembly.
This has gone from a good series to a wonderful series, keep it going guys.
I don't know if i enjoy Funny, sarcastic Dillion or Really cool teaching vibes with knowledge more. Such a great part of the channel
I love in-depth videos like this. today was great since jimmy also just posted the 964 engine teardown, feels like I just went to 2 classes with the teachers everyone likes lol
Honestly, this content is gold! feel like i actually take in a bit of information too! Miata fan boy so loving seeing Danny's car getting love!
This is soooo sick TJ!! Doing this for Danny just makes me feel super happy... 525hp in this go-kart is wiiiiiiiild haha but all aside you are an amazing friend to do this build ❤ I can't wait to see Danny's face when he lets her eat 😂
Change the tensioner to an ls2 style chain tensioner and do a 3 bolt cam gear conversion with a nice Texas speed cam 😎
Yeah and a custom diamond stitch leather interior and a quad stage paint job on the outside. Where does it stop?
@@Danielism please shut up.
What happened to replacing the piston rings or honing the block? I bet it smokes like a train.
For timing. There actually is two dots/ marks you got to line up on crank and cam gear be sure it’s right they point right to each other and for tensioner they sell a block you can put in between instead of the oem tensioner the block doesn’t allow chain to skip but more reliable
Legitimately hyped for Danny. I’ve wanted to see you guys make this build happen for a while. The zoom in 😂 on Danny just says it all. Fully diggin it KMF
The amount of knowledge Dillon has on how engines work is astounding to me. Trade's are so undervalued.
I'm sure tj wanted to surprise ur boy but this content is soo good and good to c u guys do this build give alittle break from BMW
Love this build! So wholesome and it’s something the viewers can actually see themselves building one day.
You mean to tell me you can’t see yourself building a wide body Lamborghini or Ferrari one day? 😅
calvin running with those bolts was just gold
Thank god y’all addressed that engine bay. I’m sold now. Dope build in the making. Now he just needs some HREs
Super cool watching Dillon take that thing apart and throw it back together.
Stoked to see Danny at the next Cletus and Cars rippin' a sick burnout in the Meat-ata
I need you guys to make a video of Dylan explaining exactly how a motor and transmission work. Him explaining how to put this whole thing back together and what he's doing step by step is awesome and so helpful. More content like this please! Keep up the great work guys!
I would recommend c5r chain set up to help prevent some of the issues you guys saw.
It’s usually recommended you change the oil pump when you replace the timing chain. You don’t want to take the car apart again to replace it later in and they do tend to fail with high rpm’s
Been a while since I could get into watching the channel again, pleasantly happy and entertained.
Some cylinder walls don’t have cross hatching from the manufacturer. Doesn’t mean it will lose compression
I’m studying abroad in Italy and briefly forgot about the time difference so I’ve been reloading TH-cam all day waiting for the next miat vid all day😂 then realized it’d come out past my “bed time” but I’m up watching it babyyy
DAMN O'Reilly, keep up the good store management and customer service.
Should’ve got the bow tie style timing chain tensioner because y’all are gonna have the same issue down the road
Like seeing the assembly of the engine and the format of this video!
I like this build!
Much love and support to you keep up the good work ! Watching you’re videos make me push my limits on what I want to do with my builds!
When you are sick with covid and Tj drops a new video 🎉🎉
Awesome video as always TJ Hunt and Crew. Order some of your awesome merch can't wait until it gets here.
I love the ls3 swap but I love more that no one upgrades brakes😂😂😂
A surprise would’ve been nice but I personally would’ve preferred this outcome over having it already running. Now the boys got a chance to work on it together. Low key a bit more exciting IMO.
Dillon is legit the best for the Channel keep him for ever please
TJ Hunt Awesome Video I'm glad Danny's Miatas LS3 Rebuild is going well and I can't wait to see more and I love that you guys have so much fun together
Who wants to see dillion be in charge of a full car build? It be fucken awesome and so much knowlodege in a video
TBH Teeg this was a blessing in disguise! I LOVE this content of motor building so sick🤌🏻
Nice touch adding the bloopers at the end. All the OGs know this
That "Oh, oh, oh, O'Reillyyyyy" clip was fucking hilarious 🤣
Moruzzi Race Motors is a true master with engine building!
To freshen up the surface of the head you can always use a 2x4 or some other straight rigid whatever and wrap whatever abrasive you’re using around it, keeps it flat
Great build for Dan and quick jacks for the M!!🔥🔥🔥
This is honestly a sick build. You guys are killin it 🔥 👌
The head gasket looks like it was put on the wrong way 17:07 it says front but was put on the back side of the head 😮
I just love air jacks, it would be so cool to see them utilized on a future build...
The running and dropping the head bolts had me dying.
All jokes aside even if the engine didn't have anything wrong knowing what type of drying this did a refresh should have been done either way. Way better and hey more content! Love it
I found this channel not too long ago and I fell in love with the content. Keep it up my guy 😎
Such a fun series to watch. Thanks for the education Teej!
Imagine breaking your arm you go to the Er and Danny walks in, bro I would be HYPEEE 😂😂
The crosshatching or how you call it (sorry iam german) is also that the oil have to Flow down in a cris-cross pattern instead of a straight line so it would stay longer on the cylinder and lubricate it.
loving this build actually! super cool to see something more "low end"
Calvin waddling away while dropping all the headbolts had be ROLLING. Lmfao, love you guys.
calvin and the botls LOL wha a random laugh but i needed that
The pulling the gun and shooting cuts be cracking me the fuck up lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂
Crosshatching is for holding oil on the cylinders instead of it washing off of a smooth surface so the cylinders always stay lubricated reducing friction and reducing wear. All ice engines burn oil for this reason but miniscule ammounts which is also why you should change your oil at regular intervals.
But all in all my boy is right for 99% of what he said.
Calv running with the head bolts made me die
Grannas racing has a great youtube tutorial on mounting a hydraulic release bearing, i recommend watching it. I just did that job myself on my MK4 supra, its actually pretty simple
Sucks that it wasn't ready for the surprise but honestly I bet Danny is having more fun working with yall anyway🤣
the meek little "imma do it" from Toine lmao
You don’t need to mark an LS for timing and also you have to shim the oil pump when putting it on
I hope they do a LS build in the future.
14:46 Best moment of entire vid
Are we just gonna ignore that Dillon is F**king AMAZING at what he knows and does??!! Sheeeeeeeshhhh
Fucken Calvin running away with the head bolts 😂 and dropping them everywhere 😂😂😂😂
Calvin running away with the head bolts fuckin killed me! Good job on the bay boys this series has been awesome
I’m convinced every car TH-camr I’m subscribed to got scammed in the past month or so lol
nothings stopping this build🔥
You make it look so easy, keep up the great work!
Running across the shop while dropping a trail of LS headbolts made me lol.
“This looks great for being a Miata” 😂😂😂😂
You guys should supercharge because the whine from that’s would sound amazing
While the motor was apart…perfect time to throw in some cheap high comp pistons with some beefy rods, cheap cam with spring kit and call it a day..
This may not have been the series you set out to make, but with the way it's gone it might be even more interesting than what you set out to make
I didnt see dillan reinforcing the firewall but cut out the oem pieces 😮
Was waiting for them in the mail! Don’t worry they’re here and frame rails are getting tied in 🎉
Ls2 chain tensioner. It's a 1 piece black in color and we replace these on a ls3. It's on my channel.
I would’ve definitely put a good amount of assembly lube on those chain guides.
You should do an LS2 style Dog Bone timing chain tensioner instead of the LS3 spring tensioner.
Ive been loving this build and its great how you break down everything keep it up boys.
Hope that timing gear comes around dot to dot with the way y’all did it😭
The surprise would been nice but having Danny in the vids to finish the car is so much better
Keep bags far from the M4 don’t do it 😢😢
seeing that t56 made me sit in my c5 shifting while watchin this video🤣🤣🤣
Miata's engine bay was already 2 tone tie dye with that black tubed front end. No dingleberry hone?
Do an aftermarket balancer like a summit or ati and I would also do tsp dual valve springs
Can we have a series where Dylan rebuilds his dream motor
Glad you didn’t ask b-rogue to rebuilt the engine!
Danny is is so funny you should have him more on the videos
Sucks y’all had to deal with this. But it’s a LS engine rebuild for the channel so its going to get a ton of views
I'd recommend a Melling high volume oil pump while you are in there.
So untimely, where did the metal come from? I thought they were going to hone the cylinder and put new piston rings on.
I like how Dillion timed it how he would on a any other engine, no need to mark it for an Ls but I like it lol
Bruh “ Bigoo Platypus is what you are “ 😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
What happened to the hone and new rings ?? other than the tensioner that was the only thing wrong with it
Air jacks on the M4 is going to be sick!!!
