GM gave us the legendary LS engine but they had to go and mess it up with something they failed at 40 years ago. Think Cadillac's V8-6-4 engine in the early '80s. In this video, I correct General Motor’s mistake and add 100 horsepower to my LS engine. This may be the fastest Police car ever made and yes it idled for 12 months and has the equivalent of 357,000 miles but with Active Fuel Management deleted, lighter valves, a big NA camshaft, long tube headers and more this Caprice PPV has a whole new lease on life!
After testing and researching oils I’ve decided to become an Amsoil dealer. They simply make the best synthetic fluids and their Amsoil Garage system is amazing. This allows you to track all of your maintenance and receive reminders on the Amsoil App. They also give you the fluid capacities for everything including the transmission and differentials which eliminates guesswork and wasted time. If you need high-quality synthetic engine oil, diff fluid, transmission fluid, coolant, brake fluid, filters, and more visit my Amsoil Website. By signing up as one of my preferred customers you can save 25%! https://legitoil.myamsoil.com/

    New subscriber after being offered your content by YouTube. Fantastic content and the photography and editing are first rate.

    I'm a little late, but the G8, Commodore, SS, and PPV are essentially the same car. Aftermarket and stock exhaust are interchangable between them. In case someone is looking for info on a PPV.

    Hes made multiple mistakes on this .
    First…. Didnt shim oil pump before tigtening down.
    Second… Thats not how you install a cam …. Dot to dot is incorrect, find TRUE TDC.. no matter where the crank sprocket dot is… IT WILL NOT BE straight up all the time
    Third…. Your cam IS NOT installed correctly… You did not even sho the cam card nor did you verify the installation soecs of the cam card.

    I like the future gear head assistant. Great info.

    Dude, WHAT the HECK are YOU talking about ?? LS Engine EASY 2 work ON !! 2013 Sierra 5.3 (84K miles) with LIFTER problem that has been towed …F-I-V-E… times for the last 3 months to 3 different garages that ALL told me they could repair and NOT one garage owner has even loosened one bolt on the valve cover to diagnose the problem !!! Last garage in Jonestown,Pa had the truck 50 days and continued to say "parts are on order" !! Sierra is again sitting in my driveway and I have NO idea what 2 do and i do NOT want to pay a GMC Dealer $10 Grand to replace the engine !! Edward 😡💀👻

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Auto Auction Rehabs, Evals, & Flips says:

    I will be doing the same soon. How many miles were on this engine before you tore it down?

    A fortunate son.

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RS AW says:

    Where can we find that round green bristle brush for the die grinder?

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Kolb says:

    why would you wrap the wires, disassemble the connector and heat shrink the wires, it is a better repair than that crappy electrical tape, I like the head shield cover, but wrong wire repair

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paul Kolb says:

    why did you chose to use a high pressure oil pump? from what I understand that can damage main and rod bearings, on an NA engine, high volume is all you need, which means it flows more

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Watson says:

    Gadgets trying to get economy rather than building an efficient engine.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Playa from the Himalayas says:

    I have a 2018 GMC Sierra Denali with the L86 engine. The AFM would not disengage properly in some instances going from 4 to 8 cylinder mode and made the truck drive like you were going across a field sideways. Threw in a Range afm disabler and it's been smooth sailing since.

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! CAR OLD DISCOVER & FINDER😎 says:

    Nice tutorial 👍

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Lil tony says:

    Great video Ty for the animated description of AFM.
