I'm probably late, but when positive seals get destroyed like that it was caused by not enough valve spring retainer to guide clearance. The retainer actually beat the crap out of the seals. Hopefully you can check it in the new build. Good luck!
Alex you’ve come a long way, glad you have documented your automotive mayhem for us. Looking forward to today’s update on your projects.
Awesome to see someone who appreciates a clean work area. One of my pet peeves and I guess it's one of yours! Well done!
Great video! Keep up the good work and the great build! 👍👍
Wow....I'm at a lost for words. great job man, I wish you could work on my Trans Am :)
325hpls1 Thanks a lot. If you're in Chicago maybe I'll catch you on the road. Thanks for watching
Enjoying your videos! I have a 94, 99 and 2001 Trans am selling the 94 and building the other 2 one for car show and running street the other for some street but mostly track. Im tuning in for sure!
Thanks so much Mark. Having one show and one track is a very smart idea. I tried to do both with my car and it never works. The track beats the car up.
Filming putting the engine back together as we speak. Will have a cool time lapse and update video soon.
Glad to see you doing your own work.
Thanks a lot. I try to do as much as possible and learn something new everyday. Tuning the car is a lot of fun too.
Great attitude and enthusiasm.
I have to commend you on your attitude and all the bad news man you’ve got such a good attitude keep it up🤛🏻 sorry it happened but that’s just part of plan
New for 2018 the tried and tested "Lift Picker" coming to a parts store near you! (Trans-AM not included!)
For the future vids, I would love to see more reviews of Mercedes Benz's (like the R and E- class one, maybe get your hands on a W220 S55 AMG). I'm amazed this channel hasn't got more followers, I'm gonna make sure I spread a good word about it :)
SuperBeatSer Thanks so much. That means a lot. Yes I have plans for many reviews like those two. I actually started writing for an online auto magazine and that's taking some of my time right now. Check me out @ alt_driver. They are on face book and online
For those who don't have a lift you can get that motor out the top easy with the engine mount for the LS from Jegs that has the 6 holes in it. I took the water pump and power steering off but I think it would have cleared with them on. Manifords stayed on as well and didn't even discharge the A/C.. Coils also did not have to be removed.. Best $60 bucks I've ever spent...Just take the fans and radiator out and you are home free...
Seen the decomposed valve seals,are you the oil itself is not the root cause ?
Great channel... Found it randomly.. Subscribed..
Thanks!
Can u tell me what all did u use to keep ac in the car for turbo kit really need my ac ! A vid of how u routed ur hot side would be super helpful !! Thanks !
how would a lifter cause oil pressure loss?
Any more updates? love your car man
Just filmed today. It will be up in a couple days. She's back!!
Can you please hurry up! J/k love the Vids.
Sweet Z yes yes, I'm on it. haha
makes me miss my old TA
Damn, all of that because of a freaking lifter. Those valve seals could have been damaged when they were installed. OR, if the lifters were going away and the valves were floating they may have damaged the seals.
Seems like ls7 lifters have this issue. I read that Morel lifters are a good alternative.
That's what I ended up buying. Going to really pay attention to preload and measure with a dial indicator to get it perfect
LegitStreetCars awesome man can't wait to see it back together. I'm finishing up my brembo / turbo for this summer too.
Iron block? Maybe I missed a video of that. But I thought LS engines were aluminum?
They are, this is an iron block from a silverado, van tahoe something like that.
Alex
film the rebuild
yo where can I find that red rolling work table? I found one on Amazon for 100 but the base looks alot bigger than yours it's a ADT tools piece
which turbo kit do you have or is it something custom you built?
It was originally a Kentucky turbo kit but that was like 7 years ago. I have redone most of it myself at this point.
u should have put a t56 manual in your car for going faster
subing for sure
What k member are you using?
in aus we call it K frame
Sub'd I love watching home grown builds and not reality tv show unrealistic crap. Just wondering are you using a LQ9 block for your build ? I still have a new in create LQ9 block that i got 8 yrs or so ago (Before I got married) from jegs. Just haven't found a car that I can shove it in (in built form ofcourse - 402" variety). Suggestions ?
Yep used an LQ9 I bought from the junk yard
How much you want for the lq9
great videos .dump the music and play some rock.
You have a $2,000.00+ lift, but can't buy a $150.00 fold up cherry picker...??
fun fun priorities
Haha yep just didn't have the the $150. No I kid. Honestly I have needed a cherry picker once in 5 years and just don't want to store it. The garage isn't really all that big and even folded up its just not worth it to me.
