All good to know thank you all!.

 

I did hear that i should regap my piston rings is that a must or how much am i limited too?

 

dont know the limitations of stock gap,but in my situation i know i may want more boost later, the engine is out so i will be gapping top ring.

google big bang theory its ls build.

 

How would you gap the rings? Just buy new ones?

 

Pop out the pistons pull off the rings, gap them and put them back in.

 

white 4.8, I am doing a similar build at the moment. My engine has 165k so I'm not too worried about going all out with the supporting mods for now because I plan on building a larger engine at a later date. For right now, I'm doing a isky triple 12 cam with isky springs. I plan on running 10-12 psi in hopes of 500 or so hp and I don't plan on revving the **** out of it. I also think that its probably a good idea to change the timing chain and gears, theyve been known to bust.

 

Ok im doing a 68mm turbo with about 60lb injectors looking for 500 to 600 hp and behond later. ls9 headgaskets, new piston rings and gapping them, because my engine has 218k on it, and valve springs. Not sure what valve springs i need. Also i need to know where is the best place to put my oil feed line to the turbo? All help and pictures greatly appriciated. Thank you!
