| Video Discription | This is a comprehensive guide to rebuilding Gen III/IV LS engines. Below I have a list of tools, parts I used to build this engine. I will not be covering the rod and main bearing clearances because I already made a video entirely about how to measure oil clearances here: https://youtu.be/eF7Cn5cSuf8 One thing I couldn't cover in this video was the assembly of a gen IV rod and piston. The Gen III has pressed wrist pins whereas the Gen IV has floating wrist pins. I have another video showing how we did that on a 6.2L Gen IV here: https://youtu.be/QHllq11A6Ck - 🔰 Don't forget to Subscribe: https://goo.gl/2SdRG8 - 🔧Special Tools needed for this job 🔧 Cheap torque angle gauge: https://amzn.to/3hdV6NP Torque wrench with torque angle built in: https://amzn.to/3shrnds Inch lbs Torque wrench: https://amzn.to/3IiaQvi Beam style torque wrench: https://amzn.to/3sbduNH Manual piston ring filer: https://amzn.to/36pkvSz Electric piston ring filer: https://amzn.to/3Ih20xT Piston Ring Pliers: https://amzn.to/3v7AoYi Universal Piston Ring Compressor: https://amzn.to/3hbNdZy Nice Piston Ring Compressor tool for 3.78 bore: https://amzn.to/3LWr0MT Front and rear cover alignment tool: https://amzn.to/35pVZjC Jaw puller for timing gear: https://amzn.to/3veT0FW Harmonic Balancer installer tool (Long Reach): https://amzn.to/3IwG5TD Pick set for cleaning pistons: https://amzn.to/3hehVkK Dial Bore Gauge: https://amzn.to/3554iBR Dial indicator with magnetic base: https://amzn.to/3JOV1g2 🔩Parts used in this video🔩 Verify the fitment of your specific application.
