im getting anxious
should go in saturday morning

LS Hot Cam - Blue LS6 springs
Comp Cams Magnum 7.4 pushrods
Crane Cams valvespring tool

btw, GMPartsDirect is screwing me on the cam install kit I ordered over a week ago. When I ordered they said it would ship within a day and finally I get an email notice an hour ago saying that it has shipped with FedEx and won't be here until the 16th. Since I can count, that's 2.5 weeks turnaround which blows for someone who said "in stock-ships immediately" over the phone. Oh well, I'll just be returning it to them since I'll have to goto Oreilly's and buy the gaskets and crank bolt.

Crank Bolt is dealer only and the gaskets are damn near impossible to get anywhere else

oreilly had a good deal on the gasket set, 43 bux for: timing cover gasket, all water pump gaskets, all o-rings, front seal, and there's an extra little gasket for something lol. Anyways, oreilly and autozone don't have the crank bolt available, if Advance doesn't have it I'll just go down to Ron Carter and get butt fucked for a damn bolt. I'm sure they're going to try charging me something rediculous like 50 bux for a bolt.

the crane cams tool is well worth it, the p/n for a LS1 crank pulley bolt is 12557840

paid 10 bux and some change at Ron Carter, but hey I have all the parts now.
