Timing Chain R&R on GMC Canyon Vortec 3500 Engines

Ouch... Talk about "Losing Your Balance....and Falling Into a CANYON...!" And I thought the LL8 Motors were a PITA to work on this TC R&R.... Christ Almighty!

Yep. Basically the same as the 4.2 with the addition of the balancer chain. I know his pain.

You should know the VOP on that Youtube, @Mooseman... He is just about the most remarkable, unstoppable Canadian Mechanic you will ever see when it comes to not being defeated by problems. Check out his Youtube work on squeezing a Dual Turbo-Charged GM 5.3L V8 inside of an Audi (with the tuning help of The Sloppy Mechanic) and what happens when he finally gets the chance to race it!

That is nuts. I never realized that those had balance shafts.
