You should get a manual and torque everything properly, more problems may arise from not torquing them, BTW the 1.6 rockers change your cam characteristics (duration .208/.214 lift .420/.436) so it should be a help in higher RPM.

erm yeah i know all of this already but thanx :tup:
i also bought a torque wrench i will use ftw.
i have a haynes manual but sometimes it can be vague, just looking for the procedures from someone who's done this to a 3.4
Correct, when it gets tight and won't spin then stop and do your 3/4 turn from there. Make sure the pushrod is centered and fully seated in the lifter/rocker.
You don't want to use anything real heavy that could clog up the lifter or pushrod, oil has to squirt through there. Yeah, regular oil will be fine.

thanx, do i lube up the rocker arms and top of the pushrods as well?
I can't wait to get those intakes in so i can finally get this thing done.
A little off topic but...
what do you think about me wire brushing and/or sanding the ports on the UIM and LIM ? just to clear out all the junk mostly, that tooth brush method takes forever lol.
Also, about that stud that is still stuck in my EGR, do you think i should jb weld a nut on top of it and try to get it loose again with a socket?
i would (while you are waiting on the intakes) take the manifold off and bring it to a machine shop and get it done right so you dont mess it up. your heat shield is the gasket so no need for new gaskets.

i don't totally understand....
btw, the manifolds i would be sanding are the ones i am currently waiting for, but i would take both the upper and lower intakes to get done by a shop if you think it would add any gains. any idea on cost for the upper and lower manifolds?
Hrm, a toothbrush and some kerosine in a pan worked well as my parts cleaner. But yeah if you want to dremel them out yourself or have a shop do it, I'm sure it can't hurt. Just make sure to clean them out real good afterwards.
I doubt JB Weld will hold a nut on there well enough to get that out. A real weld might do the trick. Did you check around for a stud extractor?

he meant the exhaust manifolds....thats not going to help 1 iota
ooo sorry camaro 9407, i gotcha now. Well now that i have everything out of the bay, theres certainly enough room to drill down there on that stud.
No zahn, i looked around for a stud extractor and i couldn't find one. (i work at Home Depot and we don't have any) and online, i'm not sure which size to get. Would you have a link to the correct stud extractor?
If i end up drilling that stud could i simply drill a hole through the stud, then put a bolt (small enough to fit in the hole) and a nut and just tighten the nut down real tight? or would I have to rethread the hole?
thanx
max
btw, i will try kerosene next time, the brake cleaner doesn't do very much.
Haven’t done anything on the Camaro, but put LEDs on my truck headlights . And my oil pressure sensor went out on the truck so going to fix that this...
