Help me REBUILD my Ls/Vtec-Turbo
i am rebuilding my ls since i cracked a sleeve in my other block... here is everything i have for the build so far.
-cleaned and honed ls block w/ main caps
-cleaned and mic'd ls crank
-ls rods (w/ used arp rod bolts) and ls pistons
-used arp head studs
-used arp main studs
-new acl main and rod bearings w/ thrust washers
-new sealed power piston rings
-new ge ls/vtec head gasket
-used pr3 head
-used oil lines and fittings for the ls-v conversion
what else would i need? oil pan gasket? rear main seal? also the bearings did not come with any lube or anything should i just use white lithium grease to grease the bearings and journals before installation? the arp bolts did not come with instructions since they were in the block that cracked a sleeve... what are the torque specs for the rod bolts, main studs, and head studs? should i use thread locker? how do i seat the head studs into the new block? also in my haynes manual it states that i should re-tap the main threads and head stud threads, is this necessary? any help will be greatly appreciated and rep will be given thank in advance. more Qs to come...
