This is not your first post asking for this kind if help .... You are freakin' CRAZY continuing to re-build an engine without the Service Manuals ......

And I'm being polite today ... I can think of a half dozen other adjectives that more closely apply .... but won't use ....

Brand new the Manuals are about $135.00 .... there are SO MANY "gotcha's" that you are missing just "bolting it together" .... I'll be surprised if that engine runs 5,000 miles before it suffers a failure .....

Go spend the money on the manuals .... be smart for a change.

WOW, that wasn't the response I was expecting. You didnt need to reply to this thread pal. I was just seeking direction for a good engine manual, seeing as the dealer here cant even find me one. I can think of some adjectives also that could describe your behavior, assuming you know anything about myself, my intelligence or how this engine is going together. For the reocrd the price for the manual is not an object, I JUST CANT FIND ONE that has the information I need. BTW, everyone has to start somewhere, I am sure you had some less than intelligent questions answered for you once upon a time. Please dont respond to any more of my posts.

Default How to order manuals .....

No, you weren't asking for help locating a manual .... your original post asks ...

If you want the manuals quickly ... these are the guys that publish them for GM ... these are THE service manuals for the vehicle .... they include EVERY detail of re-building an LSx engine.

http://www.helminc.com/helm/homepage.asp?r=

Seems odd a dealer wouldn't know where to order a service manual .... their service department gets them direct from Helm's for their own technicians .....

If you are willing to wait a few extra days and want to save a few dollars ....

http://www.gmpartshouse.com/faq.html

Scroll down to "How do I order a Helm's Manual"

See .... all ya gotta do is ask the right question ......
