5.3 Rebuild book recomendation
#1
Hey,
I was referred to this site to ask this question so this is my first post and I hope I got the best forum for this, if not please let me know. My wife's 08 burb spun #7 bearing this weekend. It's a 5.3 and while I have built many motors including a handful of 5.7 SBC I have not done much work on LS motors short of general repair. I am completely confident I am able to tackle the rebuild, I have a very good machinist that has always been great to work with but I need a good reference book.
I can rebuild anything as long as I have a solid rebuild book with all the specs and the gotcha's laid out. What I am looking for is someone who has or does rebuilds and has a good reference and what you use. ISBN number from the book would help or an amazon link.
So far all I found is this:
https://www.amazon.com/How-Rebuild-L.../dp/193249460X
and the recommended links below it. Let me know what is on your shelf so I can get a copy. I have some medical issues I need to tackle first so this will give me some time to read through and decide how far I want to take this.
Thank you in advance.
Tom
