Inside The Belly Of The Beast
Station four is where the LS7 gets its pistons. The cylinder is oiled and then the piston is inserted into a tapered sleeve. A slight rap from a nylon hammer sends the piston into its new home. This tapered sleeve made it extremely easy to install the pistons. Do this seven more times, install the rod caps and you are done. Well almost. After the eight pistons are installed a computer tracked torque wrench turns the crank and the resistance is measured. This makes sure nothing is binding up and that everything is moving freely.
