LT5 reliability and longevity - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Anonymous · 12-13-2003

I have an lt1 right now that I am putting in an rx7 (and yes it does actually fit)but I am thinking about doing an LT5 instead. I am just wondering how reliable this motor is and what problems may be encountered when purchasing a used motor. If at some point it needs to be "refreshed" what types of things need to be replaced (piston rings, bearings, liners possibly...?). I am probably looking at an earlier model unless I find a 93-95 for "cheap". Thanks for any response.
