Looking on ebay for cams and having trouble finding out what years are compatible with my 02 lq4 motor. I'm guessing 99-06? What say you?

I say stay away from ebay cams. Get one from a board sponcer.

Actually I had been looking at stock used cams. If I upgrade I can assure you I would get one from a reputable company! Even still, I would need to know what years I should be looking at.

all lq4 years use the same cam its a standard 3 bolt style cam. most ls engines use this some of the newer ones past 06 use a single bolt style. i agree though do not buy any grinds off of ebay

Word. So basically, any 6.0 cam from any 6.0 from 00-05 is pretty safe? I would only buy a used OEM cam off eBay. Otherwise, if i were to buy a used performance cam, i would buy it here.

Any stock GM cam other than an ls6 cam is a waste of your time, you will spend more on gaskets, balancer bolt, fluids then you will the cam...do yourself a favor and get a real cam the first time...

ls6 cam in my lq4? :thinking: Is that the popular z06 cam swap?

Just for a quick back story, I bought and swapped a lq4 into my 91 suburban and it has a tick. Sounds like a bad lifter. I found a used cam/lifter/trays etc on ebay for $100 but it was listed as 03-06 6.0. Trying to figure out if that setup would work in my rig.

Or perhaps you guys could recommend what you would do? I ait virtually all of my budget already. So i cant afford a brand new cam and tune. But i could swing a stock used cam and tune.

May I ask why you need a "stock" cam? What happened to yours?

I cant say i need one, it was just that, if i could get a whole pacakage for $100, perhaps it would be worth it. I also cant say for certain that one of my lifters hasnt come apart and started eating the cam. I've read about that happening. So more of a might as well thing.
