does any know a good website for engine work, im not stupid when it comes to motors, just not a pro........like what each part does and the basics of engine work, etc.......not necessarily for ls1/lt1, but motors in general........would be greatly appreciated....

 

www.howstuffworks.com that will give you a run down of what each part does and show you how it works. As far as fixing them they won't give any info.

 

for LS1s specifically.
LS1howto.com and installuniversity.com

 

thanks, great sites!
