My biggest question about getting long tube headers was, “how would they sound”? Would they be too loud? I found several long tube headers audio bytes on YouTube, but rarely did I find one with a before and after clip that actually sounded clear. Most were recorded with nothing more than the guy’s cell phone […]
Installing Long Tube Headers & Y Pipe on Chevy Tahoe GM Truck (Video)
If I made it this far, anyone can! The actual installation of the long tube headers (for me) was much easier than getting all those old rusty exhaust parts off. Now the only question, will it fit? I remember reading online mixed opinions on where to start. Should I start with the headers and work […]
Short vs Long Tube Headers – My Personal Decision (Video)
My short vs long tube headers decision had been going on for at least a year – maybe longer. At first, I desperately wanted shorty headers because I had read how much easier they were to install, and how they just “bolted on” with the stock Y pipe. Then I read about how well made […]
Unboxing GM Truck Long Tube Headers and Y Pipe from Speed Engineering (Video)
I’ll be the first to say, I don’t care much for “un-boxing” videos and I never set out to create one. The thing is that when my long tube headers showed up, part of the mating surface from the header to the head was sticking outside the box. I asked my wife to grab the […]
Engine Oil Cooler Install and Making AN Hose Fittings (Video)
Oil getting too hot can be the death of an engine. Enter, the oil cooler. I had seen many sandwich plate oil coolers and actually purchased one but was disappointed by the fact that I could not find one with both a port for an oil temp gauge and a thermostat that would fit my […]
Final Prep & Initial Engine Start – Rebuild Video 12.5
After buttoning up the last few items (like bolting up the steering shaft, the last few screws, and the throttle and cruise control wires) it was time for fluids. I put coolant, engine oil, power steering fluid, and transmission fluid in the car. For the first test, there were no spark plugs, just […]
Installing Belts 02 Tahoe – Rebuild Video 12
Belts are turned by the crankshaft. The serpentine belt starts at the crank and spins the alternator, the power steering pump, the water pump, and the clutch fan (if you don’t have e fans). The other belt is spun from the crankshaft and spins the AC compressor. Installing the belts seems hard, but it […]
Oil Catch Can System Installation & Inline PCV – Rebuild Video 11
The Holley Tall Valve Covers do not have the hole on the top for the stock PCV. They do have a nipple on the back side of the driver’s side valve cover, which is perfect for an Oil Catch Can. In this video, I run an inline PCV from this nipple around the back of […]
Tall Holley Valve Covers LS Motor Comp Roller Rockers – Rebuild Video 10
I had the Holley Tall Valve covers on the engine and in the car, but I ran into trouble when it came time to install the coils. The stock coil bracket was no longer useable and the hole pattern from the pedestals on the new valve covers were different than my stock ones. The whole […]
Installing Throttle Body, Water Pump, Engine Electrical Sensor Connections – Rebuild Video 9
Here is a somewhat exhaustive review of all the wires & sensors I could name for anyone who didn’t have anything as a reference. I also show the wire loom that goes at the front of the oil pan and comes across to the passenger side that gets affixed to the oil pan on the passenger […]
