Re: Technical Information on Rebuilding GM LS Engines

Looks like an ad for gasket manufacturers. The LS does have some oddities though, such as an undercut crank (no radius fillet) and rods that all face the same direction. My machine shop installed my odd side pistons "backwards", but I could not find ANY technical info on why rod orientation was critical. They are at the machine shop now getting corrected.
