so two weeks ago i got the TT3000 in to start getting it set up for a cam, and about to order the tsp 224r and single spring and prod package.

Just wondering if this is the right spring depressor
dual sprin press

And compressor hook up to hold the valves
compression check

1999 ecsb 5.3L

thanks

 

those will work, you will need a balancer install tool as well

 

can you just rent one of those from autozone or is that something special?

how about this though while im at it
puller for h damp

also am i going ot have to run a zinc additive

are you installing this is your truck with 210k miles?

im not sure on the zinc addictive, i just run synthetic oil.

 

Yup!!! 213000 now. I run full AMSOIL synthetics. I know it's a lot of miles, I plan on building a 395 stoker after this next deployment this winter, so i will use the cam in there also. And not to worried if i blow up this engine, as i have a plan in place already to replace it and have a bike to ride during the build. Not that I have the money to build it now I just want the power.


Thanks for the link never thought about that step I thought u ment puller

A bit dirty but it's nice to have power in the sand

 

That one wont work as theres no spots for the bolts to go in on the balancer to pull it. The remover and installers I got from autozone wouldn't work... I ended making a big 3 jaw pulley puller work for removal, put a extension in the crank threads to keep them from getting mashed up. To install I just used light taps from a rubber mallet to start the balancer on straight, then a big socket over the end with a extension and slowly (beat)tapped it back on. Then tightened the bolts on the timing cover once the balancer centered it

 

so your saying something like this then?
puller


it didn't throw the balancer off and no wobbles when you did that?

 

That one will work if it's big enough, I used one that looked like these, I used a decent size one.

Pullers

No wobbles or anything wrong, just made sure I started it on straight as possible and was careful, it's going to take some force to install a balancer slanted IMO..
