So I do not mean to offend you since I do not know your engine building skills or whatnot, but after seeing all your headaches with the LS I want to make sure this goes well.


1) do not put assembly lube on the bolts/studs you tightening..may hydrolok and stretch bolts etc
2) Drive car for about 10miles and downshift and let the engine back pressure slow motor to help seat rings. Do not rev past 3000 rpms, but you can be hard on the gas till that point. Drive it how you would till 3k

3) dump oil and put on new filter
4) drive 500 miles, dump oil and new filter
5) check torque on various bolts..even on oil pan.


Good luck on this one!
