There ya go! Glad to hear you got the problem at least diagnosed. May not be fun work, but it will be rewarding once its back together and running well.

 

Keep up the good work.

I finally got the cam shaft out last week. That is a bugger of a job right there. I had to drop down the steering assembly and front differential in order to get the oil pan off, so that I could remove the bolt from the oil pick-up tube on the bottom of the oil pump, so that I could remove the oil pump, so that I could get the timing chain off, so that I could get the cam shaft out.... did you follow all that?

 

I sent the cam shaft off to get re-done. The one lobe was damaged pretty good. I should be getting it back any day now. Then I get the fun job of putting it all back together! I'm hoping to have it done this week.

 

While I got it apart I'll be cleaning up the heads and re-seating the valves. What else should I do while I have it all apart?

Oil pump has to come out now? WTF! Never worked on any LS - just old school 350's or 262's.

 

Valve seals wouldn't hurt, if you haven't already done those. Maybe springs too, but I don't think you've got enough miles on them to worry about that too much.

This isn't my picture, but it's pretty much the same. The oil pump is on the crank shaft.

Valve seals will be replaced. New gaskets for everything that came off.

Whiskey Tango Foxtrot ....... GM designers never sleep! AHH now I see why it had to come off!

 

Wasn't picturing that style at all - looks just like a larger version of what was on a '00 Focus 2.0 SPI that I rebuilt the top end of, after it ingested a valve seat ...

My brother and I picked up a 2009 Silverado Hybrid with what was supposed to be a bad motor.

Put a rebuilt motor in along with a new AGM battery and the truck bucks violently after starting the engine and so now I'm trying to figure out what is going on. Going to hook the Tech II up to it again (unfortunately the Tech II card is a 2010 so it's not the latest).

VVT and AFM were deleted using the parts, but they are not programmed out of ecm yet as I was told that as long as I used all the hard parts for deleting those, the computer wouldn't be able to do anything to cam degree, or cause the engine to go into 4-cyl mode in any way (not even fueling).

 

New engine details:

 I picked up an identical 'core' that wasn't able to start from a local salvage yard (lucky to find a LFA core within 50 miles) and went to town collecting parts to rebuild it, but with some changes, utilizing factory parts and an aftermarket Melling 10295 oil pump.

Parts used for the rebuild (all new or rebuilt):

GM LS3 head gaskets (verified they are the same thickness as LFA gaskets)

GM LS7 lifters 

GM LS7 lifter trays

GM Ly6 valley cover

GM LS9 camshaft

ARP cam bolts

LS9 4x cam sprocket

rebuilt stock 243 heads

LS9 valve springs

LS2 timing chain

LS3 timing cover (no VVT)

LS2 timing chain dampener

Durabond coated cam bearings (original front cam bearing had a little scoring so I got the new bearings for peace of mind/cheap insurance).

Clevite 77 main and rod bearings (stock sizes as there was no crank/rod damage)

Piston-to-valve clearance was measured and stock pushrods from another engine were used as they were a perfect fit)

New oil pressure barbell

New timing/rear main cover/valve cover/valley cover gaskets

Block was cleaned and checked/honed prior to reassembly

Crank and cam were 'timed' prior to timing set being installed

 

Is there anything outside of the gas engine (aka in the hybrid system) that could be causing the truck to run so violently? Truck has 142,xxx miles.

 Thanks in advance for any help.

I said that code 304 misfire #4cyl moved coils injectors to see if code moves to no still #4 cyl misfire code timing light flashes on all plug wires but no flash on#4 
Likely a wiring problem to the #4 coil

      2019+ Brake failure, it's complicated

      By needafix · Posted

      I'm not sure if this should be a new topic, let me know if it's out of place. This my first post. Thanks 85077522 - AC Delco GM Genuine Parts Brake Master Cylinders. Anyone else had to replace this brake master cylinder yet. I didn't do any brake work, it looks like new parts and I've had the truck for about 4k miles, 119k total miles.  When it started to throw codes I did the calibrations with a bidirectional scanner and got the codes to clear but they came back so I did the routine; base bleed, automated bleed and final base bleed. All that with Bosch ES16-32N fluid (please look it up). That seemed to fix it but 100ish miles later it failed again so I ran the same process but with a pressure bleeder this time and got the same results, fixed for 100ish miles. The original fluid looked bad and I thought I got most of it out, it could've been the wrong fluid. The codes; P25A2, C05B0-00, C2A1B. I can get them to clear but not for long. The C05B0 indicates a leak in the front circuit (which is bone dry) so I'm thinking of doing the bleed process on that front again today and I don't know if that's taboo to just do the front but at this point it seems like it's worth the try anyway. The new master cylinder/module unit is supposed to get here today. But now I'm pretty much convinced this install is over my head. I've called several shops and some mobile guys that I know but this thing is like radio active material, scary wise. I did get 2 local shops say they should be able to do it, one says he has the SPS2 programing capability. And with the battery disconnected is there supposed to be pedal resistance, mine is to the floor, then if I pump it I can get some resistance. I had a panic stop prior to this issue which may have contributed from what I read. And on the first attempt to bleed and hydraulic test the scanner listed things to look for and one was any gaps between the pad and rotors which I did notice on the RF corner and I removed the outer pad (where the gap was) cleaned it and the hardware and didn't see a gap after that but will re-check it. I read that if pushing the caliper pistons back then you're supposed to open the bleeder so as to not push fluid backwards into the abs module or it will damage it. If that's true then that's also a possibility from the previous owner having the brakes changed before I got it. I'm using an XTool ip500 scanner. Any suggestions, questions and comments welcome.

      Next Friday will be my 6 week point from my right knee replacement.  The surgeon says it will be fine if I choose to drive after this checkup.  I know I could drive now but best to do as my surgeon (and my wife) tell me.  Richard compared being 62 to 72.  I remember when I was in my early 60's I was experiencing slow but regular decline in my mobility.  Thanks to good medical support,  i continued to fight the speed and spread of this decline. During my 60's I worked on non-surgical methods and just when I turned 70, my orthopedic surgeon recommended joint replacements.  In a little over a year, I had one shoulder and both knees replaced.  This hasn't been a terribly fun experience, but worth the discomfort as my future mobility health trajectory has reversed.  It is a treat to now be watching my mobility. balance and confidence steadily improve!
