GM WCT here. No one has mentioned that there is a special tool required to align the timing cover on installation, it fits over the crank and fits over the two machined bosses on either side of the crank seal bore. Not using the tool may result in the crank seal being misaligned with the center line of the crankshaft, This is true with all LS engines.
Ok 12:46 before we got the doodley do’s. We still miss them. We still watch EVERY Rainman Ray YouTube video. Great work and commentary Ray.
Wow, you are not lubricating the new oil pump during installation time and not centralize the pump gear before tightening the pump bolt…super…😅😅
There's too many commercials anymore
Hello Ray: Thanks so much for this. The "Melling unit" . . . do you remember which one you used?
Is that torque wrench the one that goes from 10 to100 ft lbs
I enjoyed your videos you're a good mechanic I just don't know why you didn't put oil on that timing chain don't forget to put some oil on that front crank seal before you put that bullion other than that spot-on dude
Lot of work to remove pan customers don’t realise how much time these things take love your work manðŸ‘
Huge job ray
Did I miss? He did not tighten the bolt on the timing chain sprocket!!!!
I could watch you unscrewed stuff all day😅🎉
Oil pump failures are notorious due to their lack of lubrication. How often are they re-greased ?
@Rainman Ray:
As I sit here and drink my coffee at 0545hrs, and watch this video, I have surmised that you are prior army.
Over at Auto Zone. "Ray just called in." "WHAT? Oh no, did we get in that pallet of Brake Cleaner yet? You know his standing order is 4 cases every time he calls."
The bell ding made me laugh every single time
All that for a small part.. I miss cars from the 60s
Coming along swimmingly @Rainman Ray's Repairs
These engines have always been gravey to do timing and oil pumps on @Rainman Ray's Repairs
Wow them oil pan bolts were put on with impact and way over tightened yikes @Rainman Ray's Repairs
What I wouldn't have given for some of those battery operated tools back in the 60's. And a lot of the others too.
Good Tools are not a Warrenty for a good Work, but they are the best Indicator You can have.
Congratulations for those, I think You're doing a great Job.
