Today's teardown is a blast from my youth, a Gen2 LT1! Even though these engines have a bad reputation due to their strange ignition system and cooling system design, I still like them!
This core engine was bought from another salvage yard who noted it was "Locked up". I bought this for the heads and timing cover as this is an obd2 LT1 and the timing cover is often used for 24x LS pcm conversions. This teardown went pretty smoothly with one exception!
Why did I do this? My name is Eric and I own and run a full service auto salvage operation in the Saint Louis area. Part of our model is tearing down core or bad engines and salvaging the good parts. We don't rebuild engines but we supply parts to those that do!
As always, I love all the comments, feedback and even the criticism.
Catch you on the next one!
