I'm going to be doing a cam swap soon and have been going over this for about 3 days now trying to get all the correct info and part #'s for the parts used and needed in a cam swap. Hope this helps some other people out


Balancer Bolt. (GM Part # 12557840) qty. 1

Cam Sproket bolts (GM Part # 12556127) qty. 3
(cheap so why re-use)
Cam Retainer Bolts (GM Part # 11515756) qty. 4
(cheap so why re-use)
Front Engine seal (GM Part # 12561244) qty. 1

Water Pump gasket (GM PArt # 12559271) qty. 2
(99-up)
Timing cover gasket (GM Part # 12574294) qty. 1

Valve Cover gaskets (GM Part # 12560696) qty. 2
(may not be needed)

Optional Parts that may or may-not need to be changed but should for insurance sake

New LS6/LS1 oil pump (GM Part # 12563964) qty. 1
(can also get a ported unit through a sponsor. Should be changed on all 98-00, and on 01-up over 50k miles)

Oil pump pick-up tube o-ring (GM Part # 12557752) qty.1

LS2 Timming Chain (GM Part # 12586482) qty. 1
(can also get the JWIS or Timming set thru a sponsor)

Valve spring Locks (GM part # 10166345) qty. 3-5 (spares)

Also need new springs that depend on the type of cam, Push-rods, about 6 qts of oil, New oil filter, about 2 gallons of Coolant, Tube of RTV (for the bottom of the timming cover where it meets the oil pan), and some Lock-tight for the Rocker arm bolts (Non-Perm Blue if I rememeber right)

Also these parts might be needed if you have emission hook-ups still. (EGR and AIR)

AIR Gaskets (GM Part # 12553617) qty. 2

EGR Gasket (GM Part # 12337972 valve or 10055726 tube gasket. I found both and don't know which gasket is which) qty. 1

Also I found these Part #'s for swapping out to an LS6 manifold

LS6 manifold w/out EGR (GM Part # 88894339) qty. 1
(comes with all new gaskets and MAP sensor)

Front coolant tube (GM Part # 12578838) qty. 1 or 2
(replaced Part # 12568478)
Rear coolant plugs (GM Part # 12563325) qty. 2 or you can use a second coolant pipe


Misc stuff I'm going to change also would be:

Knock-Sensors (GM part # 10456603)

LS6 PCV conversion:
---------------------------------------------------------
LS6 valley cover (GM part # 12568002) qty. 1

valve cover plug (GM Part # 12568011) qty. 1



The reason I'm posting this info is that half of the original Part #'s where either wrong or I couldn't get the right ones to begin with.

Good post!! you need to check and edit you part# for the oil pump. It looks like you doubled up on the valve cover gasket #'s.

The oil pump# is 12563964

Glad you cought that. I was copying and pasting a lot of number's and missed that one.

I have to say thanks to www.ls1howto.com and all members of this board that helped find the part #'s for some of the idividual items. Some of the part #'s listed on www.ls1howto.com are off or have newer part #'s. I would like to get this to whoever made the web page to help him out.

Just order the intake gaskets from FAST. They are cheaper than at GM Parts Direct.

Gm has a gasket kit #12499462 for cam replacements, may be cheaper than pieceing it together
