A Few Tips On How Not To Ruin You LS Engine Build

/Drive recently posted a video on its Facebook page that features Tom Nelson of Nelson Racing Engines giving his expertise on the topic of LS motors, and which aftermarket modifications hinder performance rather than improve it.

The great thing about it is that Nelson is able to give you the whole lesson in under two and a half minutes. Along with his conciseness is his knowledge, having worked on engines since the age of 11, this guy really knows his stuff. He points out that the issue of installing stroker kits without the proper support for the pistons is an issue that isn’t exclusive to the beginning builder, so this video should be informative to many viewers – regardless of whether you’re building an LSX swapped Willys, turbo-LS Mustang, or just curious to know more about GM powertrains.
