installing a new cam (guide?)

[Dominic]

This topic hasn't been beat to death yet, and I don't want to insult those of you who think its a stupid question for the v6 advanced board, but I am curious as to what is needed to install a new cam on an L36.

I am aware the LS1 can have a camswap done without pulling the heads, is this true for the L36 too or not? How much would labor run if a shop did it? Thanks guys, I hope this isn't too general.

Mike Huff did it without pulling the heads.

I will be doing it in a month or so.. and will be documenting the entire process to make a nice writeup for the tech database. [img]smile.gif[/img]

You don't need to pull the heads, just the top and front end of the motor including the rockers/pushrods/lifters/timing assembly/water pump combo. I have a list of parts and numbers which I'm giving to Keith so I'm sure his write up will be very helpfull for future installers. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Excellent... There is a new dyno located on grandprixstore.com under their cams showing a 10%+ increase in power by just swapping cams [img]smile.gif[/img] Im impressed, check it out if interested... [img]graemlins/burnout.gif[/img]
