tore the whole motor apart now putting it back together and im replacing all the fluids

 

That's a good idea.

 

Get some Dex Cool for the coolant, 6 quarts of oil of your choice, and some engine assembly lube if your putting things back together.

 

i already have dex-cool i need tranny, brake, supercharger oil, and whatever else fluids these motors take

 

Oh ****, you did a big teardown! Get 6 quarts of regular break in motor oil (not synthetic for the first time), a big bottle of DOT 3 or 4 brake fluid (whatever's on the cap since I forgot), one bottle of GM supercharger oil, some Melling engine assembly lube, 2 quarts of Royal Purple Max Gear 75W-90 transmission fluid, and you should be set my friend.

 

Ok thanks, yeah its tore down to the block lol.. will napa or auto zone have all this? besides the supercharger oil?

 

sure will

 

if you need s/c oil an dont want to pay 11-15bucks for 6qrt from gm go get motor oil 5w30 its the same **** pretty much just a lil helpful hint incase you didnt wanna spend60+ on gm s/c oil

 

^^^^^^^ Fail

I've heard that's a bad move... there are special chemicals in the GM s/c oil... i think its worth the couple extra bucks do it right? a member stated this could damage the super charger in the long run.

I know I didn't spend anywhere near that for supercharger oil! CED FTW!

 

No one mentioned Loctite and Neverseize. There's several types you'll want. One is thread sealer (567) for bolts that you don't want fluids to leak in or out of. Thread locker (red 277) is for bolts you don't want coming out . and Last one is flange sealer (510) for like the valve cover. Also threebond 1280B-GM liquid gasket sealer for the oil pan. CMD high pressure lube for bolts that require critical proper torquing like head studs. Hope these help. Also maybe even some spark plug grease for that last bit of spit shine.
