Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Are you refering to these: Two 14mm nuts on back of cover in plenum area.

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Pulled the pan, no surprises. I was looking for the screw, did not find it. But I did find a small piece of aluminum from the head......at some point, someone put the wrong accessory bolt in the wrong hole and pushed a small piece of the head into the engine:
 Here is the baffle, looks like it is a shop class reject:  Pan was not bad, alittle sludge:  LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Ok, Just looking for opinions....
I have the head bolts coming. Any thoughts on the pistons and liners with regard to the screw damage? Would you replace? From what I see there is only a minor hair thin scratch in one of the liners that can barely be felt. Who is the best source for pistons/liners? In terms of bearings, would you look to replace...if so suppliers and $$ LGAFF 92ZR1 #234 Last edited by LGAFF; 10-22-2008 at 08:24 PM. |

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
If it gets caught with a fingernail, it needs to be honed or replaced. And i would definitely replace the damaged pistons.
Rippie I believe has some factory liners and pistons. I've got bearings. |

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Here is the sleeve in question and piston, odd that there is little damage on this one in comparison to some of the others.
 The scratch does not "catch" but can be felt.  Also someone noted that with the number of pins in the balancer they thought I would have a mix of "A" and "B" pistons, I checked and all of the pistons are "A"s. Also was wonderng wouldn't honing remove the coating? LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |
