I know the car can not be driven with out being tuned, but Ive also heard not to start the car if injectors have been changed. So my questions is:

what process/order are guys using when doing a build like this? I would like to be able to start it and atleast idle before having it towed ti the dyno shop so I can make sure everything is good with the cam and heads first. Could you swap everything but the inectors and run it for a little bit, then go back and do the injectors last?

Also, would it be bad for the engine to do a few dyno pulls (as/after its being tuned since it would literally have 0 miles)? Or are guys having it safely tuned, and then doing actual dyno runs after it has a few hundred miles?

I hope this makes sense, please excuse my half-retardedness :confused: ]]> Generation III Internal Engine simplysix http://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/1547791-newb-question-about-swapping-internals-tuning.html http://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/1547790-leaking-front-seal.html Thu, 17 May 2012 13:06:29 GMT Just bought a 02' Z28. It has 55K miles on it. It's had a cam put in about 5K miles ago. There's a good amount of oil on the front accessories. Can't find a valve cover leak or anything of that nature. I'm assuming it's the front seal.

Should you "Always" replace the front seal when doing a cam install?

Just wondering for future reference. ]]> Generation III Internal Engine streetknight2 http://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/1547790-leaking-front-seal.html http://ls1tech.com/forums/parts-wanted/1547789-wtb-stock-manifolds-all-studs-intact.html Thu, 17 May 2012 12:54:26 GMT Located in San Antonio, TX.

The car is a 99 Corvette 6MT with 4.10s. I will check the compression today and see if its ok, but the bottom end was freshly built (I crushed a valve spring, dropped a valve on my last motor and it crack the block, etc) so I don't think that's the issue.

Bottom End...
-stock 346 with new gaskets, all new bearings, etc.
-2.5cc reliefs fly cut in pistons
-Magic stick 4 camshaft
-Ported oil pump
-Powerbond 25% reduction pulley


Top End...
-TEA Stage 2 heads with PAC 1521s, stock lifters, rocker trunion upgrade with stock rockers - .040 milled = 60.9 cc chamber size = should give approx SCR of 11.1-11.2 to 1
-.040 headgaskets
-FAST 102mm intake mani ported by Vengeance Racing
-LS2 OEM fuel rails
-Cobra 39lb injectors with EV6 pig-tails wired in
-LS2 90mm T-body ported with tb harness adaptor
-Breathless intake and airbridge
-Truck MAF - Tuned with MAF only - MAP is shut off after 400rpm
-1 3/4 headers of unknown origin, got em with the car - has an x-pipe replacing where the cats would be, but its cut short and the factory h-pipe is welded to it with the factory cat-back


The car made 411whp with 26 degrees of timing in it up top, no knock at all with that, but it knocked with 27 degrees and didn't make any more power so we put it at 26 and left it. A/F was a smooth 12.5 throughout. We thought it might be the exhaust being a bit restrictive so we unbolted the X-pipe and made 431whp with the headers dumped open. Like I said I was expecting more and was wondering if there's something I'm missing.

Also if this should be moved to the dyno forum, feel free to let me/a mod know to have it moved. ]]> Generation III Internal Engine RideZX-6R http://ls1tech.com/forums/generation-iii-internal-engine/1547779-not-making-power-i-wanted-expected-check-my-setup-anything-wrong.html
