Maryland members in PLEASE!!! Wondering if there are any members is the local area that can stop by and take a look at my set-up and tell me if I'm ok t continue my install of heads/ cam. I'm Lexington Park (Paxs river) in St.Marys. This is where I'm at in the install. I'm just about done for the most part on the installation a set of
-TSP Stage 2.5 5.3L Heads Fully CNC Ported & Assembled With Stainless Steel 2.04" Intake Valves, 1.575" Exhaust Valves, & PRC Dual Valve Spring Kit with Titanium Retainers
- Texas Speed Torquer v.2 Camshaft the Texas Speed Torquer 2 232/234 .595/.598, 114.
-Texas Speed & Performance Chromemoly Pushrods
- Roll master Single-Roller Non-Adjustable Timing Set
- GM Replacement Lifters, LS7 style lifter
- LS1 Powerbond underdrive pulley V8 with belts and bolt
I'm use LS1howto write up, my question is about this check "OPTIONAL: Safety check! One side of the motor install 2 pushrods (one exhaust, one intake), the rocker pedestal, and two rockers...then turn the motor over by hand two full turns. While this method won't be exact, if the engine didn't stop when you were turning it you most likely installed the cam correctly. If it felt like it stopped at one point and wouldn't go further, chances are a piston is hitting a valve and you need to disassemble things and go back to the dot to dot part, OR, your cam is huge and the piston to valve clearance is ZERO (it'd take a really big cam for this to happen)"
There seems to be some hesitation when I spin my underdrive pulley? My DOT to DOT looks 100% right on, Cam isn't a huge one pretty much middle of the road. And no my spark plugs aren't installed.
Thanks Guys
Barry
