March 2011 Chevy High Performance Q&A - Performance Q&A

If you were reading last month, you heard about Daniel’s LS2 and the high oil consumption we found after taking it apart.If you were reading last month, you heard about Daniel’s LS2 and the high oil consumption we found after taking it apart. The theme of the last column was to resist the pressure to throw a project together, and well, we took our own advice after fully disassembling the engine and finding heavy carbon deposits in the ring lands of the pistons. The cylinder bores had evidence of combustion gases blowing past the rings at the top inch of the bore. This isn’t that uncommon for the LS-based aluminum engine blocks. They have gotten much better with time, but we got lucky. Daniel has decided to jump in with both feet and enlarge the engine out to 404 cid with a Livernois Motorsports stroker kit, which features a Callies 4-inch stroker crankshaft and H-beam rods, fully coated Diamond Racing forged pistons, and Total Seal piston rings. This kit is packed with quality parts, and the folks from Livernois have been great to work with.
