I have a camaro V6 and I am going go buy an LS1 some time . And I was wondering how hard is it to work on the Legendary LS1.Like spark plugs or just maintenance stuff .

 

LIke are headers hard to install ? LTs? or is it hard to fix the compressor A/C? Are the spark plugs and ignition coils easy ? Is it hard to work on the car because it looks like there isn't much room in there

 

the headers are pretty easy as far as headers go. and once the headers are in the spark plugs become much easier. the ignition is COP so thats really easy. actually one of the more frustrating things i did was my lid lol

 

I have heard that in order to put in the LT headers that you need to lift up the engine on its side to make clearance . To change the spark plugs do you have to remove the ignition coils?

 

Drivers side you just disconnect the small air pipe and set it up on the engine and you can do all the plugs. Passenger side is a little harder. Setback the air pipe again, remove all but the back coil rail bolts and rotate up for access. Couple bloody knuckles and some curse words and you'll be fine. Here's a link,

pass side just slid in for me. driver side had issues with the steering rack. either take out the steering rack or u can jack up the motor an inch. moving the motor is really easy
