How to Build and Modify GM LS-Series Engines (Motorbooks Workshop)

Good book has a lot of valuable info I would definitely recommend.

I know. Dinosours just don't have long enough arms to continue to look at the computer and search for all the YouTube stars with wrong information. So now we have this book to attempt to show we know how to read.It did come just as described.

Haven’t started reading it yet but I know it will have the information that I need in it.

This book is a good general reference but does not provide the level of detail that you really need to build an engine properly. For instance if you read the section on piston rings it doesn't talk about how to gap them (not just gap calls, but how to grind properly, etc.) or how important the finer details of sizing gap on first, second and oil rings really is....which is one of the most important details when building up an engine. First ring gap is calc'd based on engine use case, and the second ring should be gapped larger than the first. The first oil ring needs to be gapped at least as large as the second ring based on current conventional wisdom. Lots of pics, and a good reference though.

Loads of information.

Detailed description and pictures. Good book for knowledge and instruction.

If you work on or do mods on your LSx engine, then this book is a must-have, regardless of whether you're a raw novice, a seasoned pro, or a tech who works on these engines for a living. The book has substantial content fitted into the standard Motorbooks format/size, and contains many, many color pictures with detailed explanations and procedures that do not appear in the GM Service Manual. This book can be read either way: from cover to cover, or at random pages, or even backwards; it is layed out very well. The edge of the pages have a color coded section "tab" so you can quickly thumb to the section of interest. I can't put the book down, good job!!

This book along with "How to Build LS engines" from SA Design are really all you need to build your 1st LS motor by yourself.Very well written and easy to understand.Plenty pictures and easy to follow steps to building your 1st LS motor.Even the professionals could probably gain some knowledge from this book
