This guy wants to do my cam install. He has done it on his ls1 several times and says he can do it no problem. Think I should let him do it? Im putting in a 215/220 cam, dual springs, titanium retainers and hardened pushrods.

What else do I need for the install? He said something about a bolt that needs to be replaced? Thanks for the help guys!

 

anyone?

 

crank bolt.
new water pump gaskets

I was a virgin to cam swaps and did mine, just make sure he takes he time. dont know if you replace the valve seats with the duals you are going to run.

 

why dual springs and titanium retainers with that cam?

you gonna try and rev the **** out of it?


and i would say, if he has the right tools and sounds like he knows his ****, let him help you....just hang around and watch what he is doing, you will learn a lot.

surely he is charging you?

 

I bought it all as a set. Came with a TPIS Z-11 215/220 .559/.557 112LSA cam dual springs and titanium retainers. Then I bought some hardened pushrods. He said he would come pick it up and bring it back to me. I think I'll take it over there on Sunday and watch him do it and maybe help some, where I can. He said $100. Is that a steal or what. I told him I would at least buy him some gas and get him lunch if thats all he wants to charge!

 

$100 is a great deal. just make sure he looks like he knows what he's doin

 

Thats a heck of a deal. Hope it runs good.
Just make sure that he breaks it in properly.
Dont forget to also buy some antifreeze.
And you will also want to chnage your oil, pretty soon after the swap.
Give me a hauler if you need some help.

 

Lol!!!!

 

???..

 

LOL! I think thats the guy thats going to do it!!!!
