LS Torque Specs & Sequences. The pull-list for the bench.

The companion to the LS Rebuild Blueprint — every torque value, every fastener, ordered the way the build sheet is ordered. Pull-list in your pocket, lookup in your toolbox, every spec on one printable page.

One PDF. $9. One-time. The torque spec and sequence pages that should have come with the engine.

Hands-on wrencher beside a lifted LS V8 truck with the hood open and a separate LS V8 engine block on a rotating stand, in a warm-lit shop bay with pegboard tools.
What’s in the box

Four tables every wrencher reaches for first.

The companion manual is short on purpose — one torque spec, one sequence, one callout, one printable lookup per fastener grouping. Less to read, faster to use at the bench.

  • Every fastener, every torque value

    Cylinder head, intake, oil pan, mains, rods, lifter valley cover, harmonic balancer — three-stage values in ft-lbs and NM, the bolt pattern number, and the matching angle sequence.

  • Sequences in the order you build

    Pulled off the build sheet, not paraphrased. The order you tighten the head bolts is the order the engine was assembled — center-out, three-stage, with the angle pass last.

  • Numbered LS-head callout diagram

    A printed LS-head diagram with every bolt numbered so you can mark the pattern on a Sharpie and follow it from the front of the engine to the back without flipping pages.

  • One-page lookup, sized for the bench

    The whole torque list drops to a single printable page — PDF, mobile-friendly, no scrolling. Pull it up on the bench, mark it with a Sharpie, get back to the build.

The receipts

Three promises this pull-list keeps.

Same receipt strip as the flagship — the only reason a trust strip changes is when a promise stopped being true, and these three still hold.

PDF, one-time, instant download

No DRM, no subscription, no marketplace middleman. After checkout the PDF link lands in your inbox within a minute, plus your account holds a re-download for 30 days.

Every spec from a real build sheet

Torque values were tightened or loosened on the bench during the build the manual was photographed on. Cross-checked against the GM service manual, but the working number came from a build.

Indie pricing on purpose

A one-time price that fits the hobby sweet spot — the kind of price a weekend wrencher can pay out of the parts budget without blinking, and the kind of margin that ships an errata update for free for life.
