look up the cam guide on www.ls1howto.com and follow it.

 

holy sheet that is the best website ever!! thank ya sir!

 

You can get a cam install kit from Scoggin Dickey (sponsor, link to the right>>>), it includes all of the gaskets and a new crank bolt that are needed for the cam swap. Besides that, get some fresh coolant, oil and filter (if doing an oil change afterwards), and a case of beer

 

only 18 and not a big fan of alchol lol maybe some unsweet tea!!

 

I actually prefer coffee these days myself...I don't bounce back from hangovers like I did when I was your age lol. A Box of Joe and I'm good to go

Have fun with the cam swap

 

i here ya on the beer i love it but been drinkin and partying to much lately and that from keg stands haha

 

You booze you lose.

 

i have never replaced any gaskets or bolts when i do cam swaps..ive never had a problem

 

if you run into trouble with the swap, just ask here to get the direction you need
