LS SWAP FAN WIRING - HOW TO - EASY RELAY WIRING
There’s a plug on the side of the block just above where the oil filter screws into. If you remove that plug, you can test the oil pressure from there. If you have good oil pressure, then oil will go from there up to the cam bearings and oil ports. Lacking oil at the rockers would be in this area, bad cam bearings, plugged or partially plugged ports.
Also i like napa oil filters. Most of napas oil filters are psi rated correctly.
Maybe re add the oil cooler because the pass thru may go to the rocker passages.
@@neo_niko yea I might loop it. I'm gonna see if I can drop the pan in the truck just to ensure the bottom end is getting oiled
@@JovaniDanteGriego just make sure to re add the oil thing you took out of the oil filter nipple. Jic.
@@JovaniDanteGriegoI found a post saying maybe you need a better primer tool. They said a drill doesn't spin fast enough to prime all the passages to feel that 60 psi. The post I saw said the primer tool needs to seal at the correct points to prime to the heads. I haven't worked on anything older than an 80's blazer. Sorry lil sir.
@@neo_niko its all good. I'm sure I'll figure it out. I might take apart the old distributor and turn it into a tool
Having it that high gives you a big advantage for rivera crossing

Now another pointer when you are going to buy a used engine only buy it if you can see what vehicle it came out of. Reason for that is you run the vehicle vin with car fax you can verify mileage -view last oil changes ect. Obviously not everything will be documented for service if they did their own work like me and many others but it will show the last odometer reading from recent inspection . I just looked at 25 different engines only 2 of them were legit or close to legit . Some advertised as 103k miles so I ran vin and they were 381k miles. All the older Chevy-gmc Yukons tahoes silverados you can swap instrument clusters from vehicle to vehicle and it works. So you can buy a brand new cluster online with zero miles plug it in and you will show zero miles on odometer. That’s how those guys are selling Yukons with 125k but really have 350k on them . Many crooks out there
I just got screwed on a Yukon xl I bought off eBay. Came off the hauler with low oil pressure. When I dropped the oil pan hood amount of metal -new pick up tube oring and oil pump already installed . Seller swears it wasn’t like that when it left so the truck driver hauling it must of been bored and decided to put new oil pump -oring and gasket in lol. I’ve proved to seller with video and photo evidence then I have less then 15 miles on vehicle and evidence of engine damage and that somebody already in there trying to fix oil pressure issues. He offered to give me $250 return and then another $250 after I left good review. I choose to leave bad review instead
Got 2 early gen Snipers (2017) and got tons of issues. No matter what I was doing, each new start was different. Often way too rich. Short story: after I have done 20000000 checks, swapped them on same car, replaced o2's, pressured exhaust for least, secured injectors, redone/reset etc... I have decided to remove the internal regulator and replace it with an external one. Boom! problems fixed! It was rich no matter the settings because according to pressure check, the regulator allowed 70+psi vs the 59.5. When I removed the regulators on both units, it was obvious the little membrane supposed to be secured, fuel tight was very loose explaining the diff for every ride. This chinese 32buxx 3ways regulator fixed everything. They changed the design, as i see on yours, but I bet the problem remains. Spare yourself future headaches and install a regulator! Oh and avoid the 180buxx regulator that they sale. I was able to compare and even down to the membrane they are exactly the same. The diff lays in the an6 fittings, which I replaced as the chinese one were clearly visibly not to be trusted. That's in no way explaining the high cost of that regulator and only shows once more how greedy Holley has become.
My O 2 sensors do not match the harness. Will the engine start without the O2 sensors plugged in. Really enjoyed your video.
@@davidpate7807 yes it will start, you can get O2 sensor adapters on Amazon you just need to know what your sensors look like, or even better just get the right sensors
Enjoyed this series, you should have way more views!

Personally I put a LT swap with the ECU like a 6.0. Nothing crazy just a junkyard motor out of a 1500 or 2500 HD. Auto trans and motor basically pull a whole harness and drivetrain from a donor. Make it a beautiful dependable daily that you would not hesitate to drive cross-country if need be also it will be fairly decent on fuel
Good show 🤘🏽

I was so confused with the engine head with the valves and springs. Your video helped me understand how simple it is to replace or clean the valves.
@@Drityfro09 try not to touch the valve stem to much other than with a brass brush. I failed to mention this in the video.
@@JovaniDanteGriego question: can one replace the valve rack arms, springs and valves to prolong the life on an engine? And is that what you did in this video?
@@Drityfro09 so yes and no. Unless the engine is known for weak spring materials, bad trunions, etc. then these components should all be good for the life of the engine obviously inspect parts and replace as needed but no engines require complete replacement of valve train as a maintenance item, only if something has broken, worn etc. hope that helps
@@JovaniDanteGriego that helps. My 2.4 ecotec engine had a timing chain cover oil leak that I didn’t get fixed for over 6months unfortunately. I am approaching 200k miles. I am about to replace my valve cover gaskets and didn’t want to be hit with any surprises. My engine starts normal and drives without any misfires or jumps. I have been researching a ton. I am asking questions to get a better understanding how the 3 layered engine comes together.

Well admitting your an idiot and lazy is a step but a small one. If you blown 2 engines in a year it seems like acknowledging it is not enough. To no longer be an idiot one has to actually change their behavior. Imagine you had your kids in the car and you were stranded all because you never do basic maintenance on you car. I know a youtube comment from a random person won't do much but I hope you look at those core beliefs you have and swap out some of those thoughts like you swap out parts on a car. I think content like this is a way to ask for help from the collective... otherwise why make it so personal.
They must've had a parts truck I knew it was a 6.2 diesel way before it was mentioned I saw the bezel above the speedo / fuel gauge for the wait light / water in fuel light , the 6 2 diesel is a good engine and it can be turbo charged , I have the military version and it's been trouble free
