Engine Control System
An engine control system is required to operate the LS9 Crate
Engine. Check with your Chevrolet Performance dealer or
www.chevroletperformance.com for the Chevrolet Performance
control system #19299462.
Additional parts that are needed:
Starter
The LS9 crate engine does not include a starter. GM part
number 89017847 is matched to this application and is
recommended. See your Chevrolet Performance dealer
for details.
Air Induction
A high-quality, high-flow/low restriction air filter/cleaner should
be used to protect the engine. Additionally, your engine control
system may have recommendations for air cleaners and intake
systems for best performance. Chevrolet Performance universal
induction kit 19301246 is available.
Start-up and Break-in Procedures
Safety first. If the vehicle is on the ground, be sure
the emergency brake is set, the wheels are chocked and
the car cannot fall into gear. Verify everything is installed
properly and nothing was missed.
1.
This engine assembly needs to be filled with oil.
After
installing the engine, ensure the oil system has been filled
with the appropriate motor oil to the recommended oil fill
level. The LS9 crate engine requires a special oil meeting
GM Standard GM4718M (this will be specified on the oil
label). Dexos 1 is one such recommended oil. Other oils
meeting this standard may be identified as synthetic.
However, not all synthetic oils will meet this GM standard.
Look for and use only an oil that meets GM Standard
GM4718M. If using GM12629421 oil tank, make sure
that the oil level falls within the cross hatched area on
the dipstick once the oil is warm. Also check and fill as
required any other necessary fluids such as coolant, power
steering fluid, etc.
2. This engine MUST be primed with oil before starting.
The use of Kent-Moore engine preluber kit J45299 is
the preferred process for priming.
Note: A constant and continuous flow of clean engine oil is
required in order to properly prime the engine. Be sure to
use approved engine oil, as specified.
