What level is normal for engine shaking

6.2L Manual tranny

Hi everyone,

I was doing some hard stops to test my brakes after a brake bleed. One in particular felt disproportionate to the speed. It made me and the things in my passenger seat really fly forward. Maybe that is nothing maybe that is something. However it got me thinking this might be related to a problem I noticed shortly after: engine shaking. I’ve attached a link to a youtube video. In the video it looks way more mild than in real life. I suggest keeping your eye on the chevy writing on the beauty cover.

Any tips if this is normal or if I should get it checked out by a mechanic would be appreciated. Thank you

I don't think I'd be too worried about it. You could always do a compression test and see how each cylinder is performing. The compression tester is cheap, like $40.

Now if you had a monster cam in your car like I do, then your entire car would shake non stop LOL.

Kept Mine Bone Stock!

It looks a lot worse in real life. Could be age and things loosening but not like i remember it just a few days ago. Would be great if anyone has a bone stock they can compare the shaking to

Just wanted to link to a former thread where this is discussed:

Seems to be normal, I’d draw attention to post 21, where poster has noticed shaking magnifies over time. Probably just what got me worked up

I also wouldn't worry too much about it as long as the car is running good. These LS's do have what has been referred to as "the LS shake", and for some reason you just noticed it. I also back when mine was new and I saw a post from someone on this forum asked about it, wasn't until then did I notice mine. Now like op above, I have a big cam and all and the entire car rocks and rolls like a nervous beast!!

Something to look for if you have stock mounts as the car ages: Good picture of a leaking bushing

Prob didnt notice it bc I got too many speeding tickets (real smug look) so put it away for 4 years bc if i lost more points i could have possibly had my license suspended. Also I’m up North so only a June July Aug driver. Got it used in 2013 too. So that cuts out 6 of the 10 years i had it
