Let er rip tatter chip 👍👍👍👍😂😂😂😂😎😎
Ahms Chouky oh it ripped.
Why not resurrect leroy’s original ls if it’s still around? You could consider it a junkyard engine since leroy is a salvage title vette. Plus then you’d have something stronger then a 5.3l but I also know it’s all for the spirit of the build so go for it!
+C.L.LocomotiveWorks IIRC Leroys original owner “Leroy” passed away, they mentioned it in another vid, so yeah he’ll never show up.
+C.L.LocomotiveWorks I feel like Leroys first engine they made the 7 sec pass with is the engine theyre planning on using for the jet powered elco….They mentioned they were having it repaired and that they had ideas for it…
+james johns I remember that, I’m talking about his original LS2
Texas Speed even made a teardown video on it.. I’ll bet it’s either in their warehouse, or at McFarland race shop, just waiting for this opportunity.
It’s already been dismantled and pieces of it welded in to a “MAN” shaped thing. It’s not resurrectable anymore.
The Pistons couldn’t do it for Dale.
Troy Brinkman they went fffuuuuulllllllll ppppu….
James stop knocking on the damn Vette lol
I have a bare 5.3 iron block I’ll send you if want to build a boost engine for Ruby in house. I was gonna use it in my G35 build on my channel but have since built a another block. Also have the x58 crank and front cam sensor cover. Fans wanna see u do it dale’s and build it 100% Cleetus McFarland. It has new cam bearings already knocked in. Let me know.
They don’t want it
Sounds like it’s too nice for this build.
Section 8 Automotive send it my way! I can’t pay you but I promise I’ll do the same thing as all the Dodge Challenger youtubers and ask my followers to pay you back for it
Next ls engine put a new o ring on oil pick up tube… Known issue with low oil pressure…
they were rocking synthetic oil, goes milky brown when its burn’t out and won’t do its job anymore, castrol GTX can’t handle the heat from a 300+ hp car, still need full mineral oil
Damn that engine looks like it had a one night stand with my ex.
Fuzzcopter I like tigers your ex looked like the cylinder walls when I was done
Your ex was that wide aye?
put a 6.0 in it, its the holly grail of junk yard motors.
Oh, you’re just gonna show that on live television? You thought of the family of the 5.3L seeing that on the nightly news?
People love shock value, even the family…they just wont publically admit it! haha
Try to find a 2007-2013 Denali or an Escalade if you want a 6.2l
Brayan Villanueva Yukon not denali. Denali is a trim. That way someone doesn’t only look for a denali
Yukons only have 5.3s Denali is the only trim that has the L92 6.2. And the denali for some reason wasn’t rated at 403 like the escalade and the trucks that have them it’s rated at like 380 I believe. I had an 08 Vortec Max Silverado with the L76 6.0 which comes with the L92 heads already and it was rated at 370 but for what it was at the time it was quick and plenty of fun. Only other chassis to share that motor was the Pontiac g8 gt only difference that I know of was Holden/Pontiac used an LS style intake manifold where the trucks came with the Vortec intake.
+Dustin2493 Huh? My 2011 Yukon Denali 6.2L is rated at 403 hp.
*WTF ARE YOU GUYS DOING!?*
Its like you wanted this to happen….
Because viewers want carnage… “ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED!?” LOL
No kidding, just had to gap the rings to keep it from coming apart.
SCARFACE probably so. Now they can build it better
+Megoobee sad but true.
When he bought the car he didn’t have any idea that it had an old uhaul 5.3 in it. The engine has over 200k miles on it. Cleetus likes them bald eagles and already knew the engine was junk so why not have fun with a stock 5.3 with turbskies and a crank.
You guys should make the block into a table and give it away
Why don’t you get a 4.8 now and compare how much power it could hold compared to the 5.3
That requires a serious scientific approach, which is less fun then this. Hot rod magazine already did this btw, google it, series is called the big bang
That engine isn’t blown, its cremated xD
The ring lands aren’t the things that touch, it’s the ring ends. On a boosted motor, you need a bigger gap at the ring ends. With the higher pressures and temperatures that come with boosted motors, the metal in the rings grows more, and you need to leave room for that ring growth or the ends will touch. On this stock motor, the ring ends didn’t have room when they grew, so they touched, pushing the whole ring against the cylinder wall instead. When this happens, it creates an interference fit between the rings and the cylinder wall, and puts extreme pressure on the ring land areas of the pistons. This in turn cracks the ring lands, and in extreme cases like yours, breaks the piston right in half.
Oh yeah they definitely didnt know that
+Eric Smith did you watch the whole video?
+Robert Nugent did you watch the right video😂😂😂
Throw a diesel motor in Ruby
Anyone else notice the shape of the crack on the Piston resembles the Corvette Logo? @7:35 LOL
Freaking bring this to the top Cleetus, it deserves.
Cannot unsee it anymore, dang I would make an ornament out of it after that
Meh, too bad, looks like the block can’t be salvaged which is a bugger. Iron blocks can be pretty darn close to bullet proof if they are set up right.
well guys and gals this is mcfarland fab’s new crankcase ventilation sytem with selective cylinder shut off for emission regulation that even gets your car through californias EPA test, order it rigth now.
No serious last time I saw a Piston shot like that it was an 4 cylinder VW with “tuning” and a skipped chain.
Cooper should call his project car the ‘Coopra’.
