  • The 5.3L has had better days, blow by is getting worse and the smoke is getting excessive.

    You know it amazes me how people make bad comments to all you folks out there in Utah but they still watch you and complain be thankful these people are good people no swearing no smoking no drinking they all get along leave them alone if you don’t like it don’t watch if you can’t say something good about people don’t say it at all they’re actually working what are you doing setting back and complaining

    Chad, I pretty much know small blocks, but have ZERO experience with an LS. I'd love for you to do a step by step, in detail, on what you do to bring this"new" block back to life! I think it would make an awesome video with many views, and I'd hope, a lot more subscribers! And, label them part one two three and so on.

    I guess it's not a problem since you've got another motor to replace the one that's a little worn out.
    Just more content for another great video, right ? 👍

  • @moparman1962
    @moparman1962 Před 12 dny +2

    It was a matter of time for the not-new, definitely-used, been-stored LS engine Chad and Paul and crew put in Gonzo in the beginning. It's cool that Chad is already on it building a better 6.0 liter LS that will make considerably more torque and horsepower. Gonzo will be more fun-time, party-mode capable and we'll get to see him put the power down. ;)

    @cordybrassfield4844 Před 13 dny +2

    I’ve always wanted to build something like this. I wanted to do an f100 and I was hanging onto a 351 Cleveland motor to power it but the years went by and my daughter was born and I realized that motor had sat for 5 years and I never even cracked a bolt on it so I sold it. Oh well maybe someday

  • @robertr4193
    @robertr4193 Před 13 dny +7

    Too bad about the motor being so warn out in Gonzo but it was fun while it lasted and sense you are building a different motor it should live again. Stay safe and healthy everyone.

    • @PatientXero607
      @PatientXero607 Před 13 dny +3

      That LQ4 was probably worn out long before it ended up in Gonzo. Happens when you choose a 150+K mile engine for a build.

    • @chadsfab
      @chadsfab  Před 11 dny

      It was just a worn out 5.3l from Paul's FJ. It has been a ton of fun, but it's time for it to come out get rebuilt and live on in Kenner's truck.

  • @kodonosaki9273
    @kodonosaki9273 Před 8 dny

    Since the early '80s, I've used only 100% synthetic engine oil, from a manufacturer, that had at that time, publicly documented, the very significant reduction in engine wear, that their full synthetic, Mobil 1, did provide for a, well built/factory new, engine used in a street driven vehicle. Today, there are more brands of full synthetic engine oil that can be trusted. With your desire to spin Gonzo's turbo hard, any new engine for Gonzo, that is not a dedicated build with known suitable parts, may fail early, regardless of which brand of full synthetic oil, lubes it.

    The new rebuild will max out the turbo unlike now where the turbo maxed out the engine.

    I have read all of the comments the good and the bad ones ! To those that thinks new engines are better than ones out of a junkyard ! How much do think a new engine costs compared to a junkyard ? Let's just a vehicle has been wrecked beyond repair body wise but the engine area is good and the engine run great ! Would you rather spend $1000.00's on a new engine for a old beat up vehicle or get the engine from the wrecked vehicle for less money probably a lot less ?
