Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Jeffvette,
Out of the car, what is the best method for the center bolt. Pipe wrench(strap)? LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 |

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Put two flywheel bolts in and a pipe in between them. When rotated it will lodge itself against the engine stand.

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Removed the water pump, appears to be alittle rust on the back of the impeller, will post pics later. I also made sure to tape down the bolts in order to keep them in order on the water pump.
Removed the timing cover bolts, I assume that the seal needs to be removed prior to pulling the cover off. I will tackle that piece tomorrow. LGAFF 92 ZR1 #234 Last edited by LGAFF; 10-20-2008 at 10:39 PM. |

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
Seal remains in place in the front cover when it's removed. Word of caution, be careful with the large metal "washer" on the crank. The face is a precision lapped flat surface for sealing against the carbon/graphite oil pump seal. If it is dinged or scratched, the oil pump seal will leak.

Re: LT5 Assembly Project
or use a long Grade 8 bolt & let it hit the back-brace of your stand. either way will get it done.
