Looking for a trunnion upgrade kit for the 6.0 lq9 engine project. Anyone have a kit for sale? What is the preferred kit to use for this? Seems like I've seen bronze and something else. Thanks in advance for heads up on one for sale.

 

In terms of preferred kit I have heard that the BTR trunnion kit is good but I do not have first hand experience with it

 

I'm running the btr v2 trunnion kit. So far so good. Been rippin it hard. Pulled valve covers last week to check, good to go.

 

Thanks everyone. What is the difference between V1 and V2 from BTR?

I found some older threads detailing the difference between BTR, Smith Brothers, and the Summit Branded Trunnion kit. In the past the Summit kit was the least expensive, but it is now priced higher. What happened there? Thanks again.

 

If you want the best go with the CHE Trunnion kit. No press necessary for assembly but you'll need a press or a vice with some sockets to press out the old bearings.

v2 has captured bearings, I believe.

 

Ended up finding a new Smith Brothers set locally. Thanks all.
