Customer Reviews

good read
its a good read i know quite a bit of these engines, just a nice book to read

A must for your first LS rebuild
The book is extremely thorough, and filled with good color photographs of nearly every step. This book should (in my opinion) allow anyone with basic mechanical skills to tear down and rebuild any LS-series engine.

I've rebuilt engines before, but never an LS one, so I'm using this book for my 402cui LQ9 build, and I have yet to encounter a step which isn't covered in the book.

Decently written
At this time I'm still going thru this book. I'm a big fan of the LS Series engine so of course I bought into this one. If your already an engine builder theres alot of knowledge brought out in this book that will be pretty standard, but if your new to the LS engines then this is really a decent book. It contains part#'s and various tricks of the trade to make your rebuild more streamlined. I can say that I recommend this book based on the fact that any increase in knowledge is a positive thing.
