Highly recommended by a picky gearhead

This book is awesome. The pictures are numerous and high-quality color. The substantive content is amazing; the book even contains a year-by-year, highly detailed spec sheet for every LS engine ever produced! The only substantive error I saw was an incorrect bore x stroke = displacement specification for a certain engine, and that error was easy to spot and was probably just a typo. Typos, mispellings and poor grammatical usage are my pet peeve in technical books of this kind. However, only a few of these are scattered throughout the book and I did not find them overly distracting. They did not detract from the excellent and understandable technical content.

NICE PICS, BUT NEEDS WAY MORE DETAIL

This book is a good general reference but does not provide the level of detail that you really need to build an engine properly. For instance if you read the section on piston rings it doesn't talk about how to gap them (not just gap calls, but how to grind properly, etc.) or how important the finer details of sizing gap on first, second and oil rings really is....which is one of the most important details when building up an engine. First ring gap is calc'd based on engine use case, and the second ring should be gapped larger than the first. The first oil ring needs to be gapped at least as large as the second ring based on current conventional wisdom. Lots of pics, and a good reference though.

LS everything.

Whow what a book, being a diesel mechanic by trade i've seen and read plenty of workshop manuals, but this book has all the information laided out in a logical format, from block to crankshaft and so on, this sounds normal but trust me it's not.The attenion to detail about each component in a LS engine has been a great help, in what to buy for power increase's and what can be left as stardard or stock has been great.I highly recommened this book to anyone who wants to rebuild there own LS engine to produce reliable horsepower or know what potenial they contain.Enjoy Revheads.

Awesome book, incredibly detailed

I bought this book to help me build a monster LS2. When it first came in I sat at my desk for two hours reading everything. I have a bare block without any additional parts so every picture and detailed explanation is greatly needed. I like that they go over a few of the common aftermarket parts such as the Callies products and Eagle crankshafts and the difference in designs. I am using this book in conjunction with another similar book to rebuild this engine and I am fully confident I can get it done without any hiccups. It is also quite interesting to read for the enthusiast as well.

Excellent, Very High Quality LS Build Book

This book turned out far better than expected. It is very well thought out & structured, highly researched, accurate, and goes into a lot of detail with excellent color photography. It is not just about rebuilding LS's, but also about performance builds of LS's. Covering from factory to high performance: cranks, rods, pistons & piston design, cams, valvetrain, different head options, performance testing, machining, re-sleeving, iron and aluminum blocks, different GM variants. Having a business around LS's, with us it has high standards to reach from the outset given we are looking for what is new, what can we learn that we dont know, and it does that. Highly recommended.
