Where is the identification number on a LS cylinder head?

Where is the identification number on a LS cylinder head?

Later LS cylinder heads feature a center-bolt layout, where special grommeted valve cover bolts enter through the roof of the valve cover. The LS3, LS9 and L92 all use essentially the same cylinder head foundation, featuring a four-digit identification number (top of head just outside the valve cover rail) 5364.

How tall are the intake ports on a GM LS cylinder head?

All LS1, LS6 and LS2 heads feature tall cathedral -style intake ports. The LS7, L92 and LS3 heads feature rectangular intake ports. GM cathedral-style intake ports measure in the range of 3.125 inches high by 1 inch wide.

What’s the difference between LS7 and L92 cylinder heads?

The LS7 rectangular ports feature 270cc volume. Since any cylinder head intake port must be matched to the intake manifold port, only an LS7-style (in terms of port shape and dimensions) intake manifold will work with an LS7-style head. The L92-style ports are a bit narrower and a bit taller as compared to the LS7 ports.

What’s the difference between factory and factory LS heads?

Factory original LS heads feature PM (powdered metal) valve seats and powdered metal guides, (which feature the lubricity of bronze and the longevity of cast iron guides). All LS1, LS6 and LS2 heads feature tall cathedral -style intake ports. The LS7, L92 and LS3 heads feature rectangular intake ports.

How do you check the cylinder head for warpage?

Write down the thickest blade measurement that passed under the straight edge. Place the straight edge along the cross-section of the head, from one corner to the opposite corner. You will do the same with the other corner, which will form an “X” pattern across the head, bisecting it through the middle.

What happens if you check only one head?

Checking only one head gives you a 25% chance of catching a failure before it happens and that’s all. However, all other parts being equal, it’s often a detuned engine that causes the head to fail rather than a specific part failure. In this case, when one head gets hot, the others are probably hot as well.

How big of a header do I need for a small engine?

If you are using the engine in the 1,500 to 3,500 RPM range, which is typical for a street-driven vehicle, you definitely want 1-1/2″ to 1-5/8″ primary tubes for any small block and 1-3/4″ to 1-7/8″ for a big block engine. Any bigger and you will lose a considerable amount of low end torque.
