Project: 5.3 4l65e 4 door blazer

Petro · 04-21-2009, 10:50 PM

My bad the LS2s have two grooves on the same side..I'll take a pic..And the bottom ones in your pic have larger holes on the side with the groove..For the VVT I guess? On these all four are same size..

zx9rgreen · 04-21-2009, 11:06 PM

Looking good Paul

platour22 · 04-21-2009, 11:10 PM

Yea petro those should work no problem for me. Is that a part number on it, i can't make it out.

Thanks steve, does it look like it may be close to in time.

Petro · 04-21-2009, 11:23 PM

The number is 12569259 on the part

But I got this off another site: LS2 valve pushrod cover guide (lifter tray) = 12595365

platour22 · 04-21-2009, 11:29 PM

Thanks man i'll try and get the right ones tomorrow.

platour22 · 04-22-2009, 08:09 PM

Finally got my wiring harness in today, hopefully becoming togeather soon. Also my other lifter trays will be here tomorrow, so i should have the motor wrapped up. Heres some pics from today.

Oil pump back in.

New front seal installed.

Windage tray and pickup tube installed.

New H3 alpha pan on.

Timing cover on but not torque until harmonic balancer gets put on first.

Petro · 04-22-2009, 08:19 PM

Do you have a part number for that bracket on the timing cover? I'm going to need one of those...

platour22 · 04-22-2009, 09:42 PM

you referring to the cam sensor bracket.

Petro · 04-22-2009, 10:01 PM

Yep...

platour22 · 04-22-2009, 10:05 PM

i'll go check it.

platour22 · 04-22-2009, 10:10 PM

Sorry no number on it, but i'll see if i run across it tonight.

Petro · 04-22-2009, 10:13 PM

Thanks...I can't find a number for it online..I'm keep getting the sensor part number...

wickedklown · 04-22-2009, 10:21 PM

any more pics of your transmission?

platour22 · 04-22-2009, 10:28 PM

what are you wanting to see on the transmission, and i'll try and take a pic of it.

**Kampz69** · 04-22-2009, 11:05 PM

how did you install the seals, with the tool or "manually"? and did you ever get an answer to your "timed in" question, were the marks in the right spots in those pics earlier?

platour22 · 04-22-2009, 11:19 PM

No! no one said anything about the timing. As far as the front seal just knock the old one out with a flat head and hammer. Then I just cleaned it real good, took a little oil and lube the seal and the front cover, then just used a rubber hammer and gently tapped it in. Went it real easy. Thats what the book said to do.

zx9rgreen · 04-22-2009, 11:37 PM

^^^ Some people install the cover so that the seal is concentric with the crankshaft. This way you get a even sealing area and better wearing of the seal.

platour22 · 04-22-2009, 11:47 PM

so did i do it wrong steve.

zx9rgreen · 04-23-2009, 12:15 AM

that's up to you, they actually make a tool to center it, some people use shim stock or feeler gages.

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 12:21 AM

you talking about the timing cover or front seal.

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 12:28 AM

Heres more pics of the tranny as requested.

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 07:05 PM

no major update just some parts that i got today.

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 07:22 PM

Anyone know if I can remove the oil pressure sensor out of my truck valley cover, and install in the LS3 one.

sprayed99 · 04-23-2009, 08:19 PM

should be the same part....

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 09:38 PM

well i tried to see if it would plug in to the harness it didn't.

Petro · 04-23-2009, 09:40 PM

Why wouldn't it? I thought they were all the same for the Gen IV...

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 09:48 PM

Good question! I hope my harness is right.

Petro · 04-23-2009, 10:06 PM

How many pins does the sensor have? And I found the part # for that bracket on that keep and share site...It's right above the Crank sensor...haha..Evem though it says it's for the 5.3 the pinout should be the same I'd think..

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 10:10 PM

Painted the valley cover, cause it looked like shit. Now it looks like shit with paint on it.

Primed

Painted one coat

All my sensor im trying to figue out which are which. Wiring harness plugged in to two of them.

cam or crank sensor?

Oil Pressure sensor. All so all painted on Valley cover.

Not sure on the pin out I'll have to check later. Glad you found that part you need. You help me track down a few part numbers, so was trying to return the favor.

Petro · 04-23-2009, 10:18 PM

Now I need to figure out what size bolt that is holding the bracket on the bottom....Or maybe they would know when I went to go buy it...

For the harness plugging into the knock sensors I believe they will go either side but the passenger side will also have the crank sensor plug near the knock sensor plug..

Yeah no problem and thanks...

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 10:30 PM

seams like i have more plugs on the harness, than on the motor.

zx9rgreen · 04-23-2009, 10:42 PM

Hope that helps ya

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 10:46 PM

yea it does thats steve, but i worried about the harness now. Cause I'm pretty sure the knock sensor won't fit in there.

Petro · 04-23-2009, 10:49 PM

Oops I guess I could've been more specific...sorry...What's wrong with the plug for the knock sensor?

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 10:51 PM

i pretty sure it won't fit there. i think i tried it there.

Petro · 04-23-2009, 11:00 PM

Crank Senor plug:

Knock sensor plug:

Any of your plugs look like that?

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 11:03 PM

Let me go take some pics of em, back in a few with them.

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 11:33 PM

Unlabled

unlabled

Petro · 04-23-2009, 11:52 PM

Yeah I'd say those Knock sensor plugs are wrong....

platour22 · 04-23-2009, 11:57 PM

My cam sensor and crank sensor fit no problem.

If these are knock sensors on both sides of the block then these plugs are wrong or i need different knock sensors. All so my oil pressure sensor don't fit.

that was my conclusion also.

Petro · 04-24-2009, 12:17 AM

I know what it is remember how jared said to use the GEN III valley cover? Well those plugs are for GEN III knock sensors .

platour22 · 04-24-2009, 12:20 AM

hope i can just change them out if thats the case

platour22 · 04-24-2009, 12:27 AM

you may be right Petro look at that link we been looking at. On page 5 last pic.

http://www.keepandshare.com/doc/view.php?id=837831&da=y

Petro · 04-24-2009, 12:27 AM

The GEN IV have 2 wires to the plug whereas GEN III are 1 wire

platour22 · 04-24-2009, 12:30 AM

yea mine are 1 wire.

platour22 · 04-24-2009, 12:31 AM

but if i change them will a gen III fit on the block.

Petro · 04-24-2009, 12:38 AM

I read something the other day about this . I'll see if I can find it again . Otherwise I'd contact jared.
