Cam Install What Else Should I Do While It's Apart? Ok I just bought the tr224/224 lsa114 cam package
1 CAMPK-S Thunder Racing LS1 Cam Swap Package $599.99 $599.99
Gaskets: No Gaskets
88-VSR103-T Retainers: Titanium Retainers $129.99 $129.99
Year: 2001-2005
99-TR224/224-114 Cam: 99-TR224/224-114
Thanksgiving Sale -$73.00 -$73.00
I also won a SLP double roller timing chain off of ebay. Is there anything else I should put in while the car is some what apart? I was thinking underdrive pullys but I have heard they are more of a hassel then they are good. Also do I need to replace the gaskets when installing a new cam or can I get away with just replacing the harmonic balancer bolt? I have about 5k on the engine. Thanks for the help.

Is anyone familar with CA smog? Would I have a chance at all passing smog with the tr224/224 lsa 112? I just placed the order so I am sure I could still change it.

Oil Pump ( Have to take it off anyhow)
If 98-> 99+ Water Pump Gaskets If 99 and no cuts, ok to re-use
Front Seal (Depending on how many miles you have, if you re-use it you'll leak)
I'd also get a UD Pulley since you have to remove the stocker anyhow.

The 224 cam is the biggest smog-legal cam you can use. Provided you program out the random cylinder misfire code. I do recommend the oil pump since half of everything you need to remove is going to be off anyway.

*I* think double rollers are overkill for a street car app. If you use the search engine there have been a few guys that have broken the double roller (Only seems to happen to M6 cars and seems to be a harmonic issue) I can't recall reading a single thread of anyone breaking a LS2 chain. You can use the difference towards the UD Pulley... just my .02c

I just installed my MS3 and put in an LS2 Timing chain i don't think with what your installing your going to need a double roller, but if it helps you sleep better at night then its all on you. I also got the TSP Ported LS6 oil pump, i see it as your already there so you might as well.

You can't beat a ported Ls6 pump and LS2 chain. They are both priced very well and its extra insurance if you have a high miled LSx engine.
