LS2/L92 Engine Package - Blue Collar Workhorse- Tech
Unlike an LS1, the Mahle LS2 piston sits .008 inch inside the bore (instead of .010 inch above it). This causes a conflict with the original head gasket of choice, but luckily Cometic makes a variety of thicknesses all the way down to .027 inch-which turns out to be perfect for nearing the desired .035-inch quench height. The heads can now be cut accordingly, and once done, the piston-to-valve clearance must be checked. The Mahle pistons have 12cc valve reliefs, which should prove adequate. Mahle is in the process of releasing L92-specific pistons that will most likely find their way into this package, as Golen continues refining and tweaking it. View Related Article
