Spark plug change procedure
Where can I find the correct spark plug change procedure for the LS3.
I want to change mine out, I know the owners manual calls for change at 100,000 miles but I want to change mine at 60,000 miles. In my '92 I was told to use some type of lub because it was aluminum to aluminum. Do the LS3 plugs go in dry???

If you are using OEM plugs, no lube!

Not aluminum to aluminum, the plugs are steel, not aluminum. Steel is much stronger than aluminum so if you over tighten the plug you'll strip the threads in the head (an expensive repair).
I've always used a VERY SMALL amount of anti seize when installing plugs in an aluminum head and never had a problem.

got my plugs ready but for some reason couldn't make my mind up yet about where to get which spark plug wires, i'm sure I get to it eventually.
