The LS2 408 stroker in Josh's Chevy Trailblazer SS was not making the power he expected. It was built to go fast but a small cam was holding it back. When we tore it down we found some damage and decided to replace all the bearings and clean up everything else at the same time. Now we're reassembling the engine, and starting it for the first time.

    The only real way to avoid oil starvation is a really good dry sump setup. I'd love to see you tackle that JR!
