well tell WS6Store to overnight that package for free and you'll have your video even sooner

 

I am thinking some credit should go to those helping and therefore it should be re-worded to read something like this. " sorry, won't happen. Not when I have so many wonderful people helping me on this website and daddy and gramps backing me up too! "

Now that's much better isn't it??

 

It cant hurt and seeing as his block may not be perfectly true anymore its a little bit of insurance that might save his bacon. I've used the copper spray on graphite no problem whatsoever.

Regardless with that block stay away from the MLS and use a graphite gasket.

 

Well Its just a plain ol stock GM head gasket. I will wait for some further advice on the copper spray

 

Im on it charles!

 

got my stuff this morning. cam gear is off but wevve came back to a standstill due to some confusion on the keyways on the crank. We need verification of what keyway does what.

 

Welcome to 6 pages ago, where the whole adjustable timing set started...

 

You should od just bought an Ls2 Damn it!!

 

yea this is why simplisity (sp) is better
stock with the stock gears and get a new chain.
ls2 for me on my swap

 

well the motor came with it so I didnt wanna spend money on an ls2 chain when I already had something else.

I didnt originally think it was adjustable, but then again I never really looked at the crank sprocket part.

 

YOu got titanium VALVES!!
whats 35 bux cheap azz!!

 

Let's step back for a moment.

Use copper spray if you want. It's up to you. I'm not sure why your block wouldn't be true enough to just use graphite gaskets without copper spray. And, frankly, if it's that uneven, you've got bigger issues. It's totally up to you.

Find out if the sprocket is adjustable. Then we can go from there.

 

k, sorry for all the confusion, if yall remember I bought this motor as a longblock from speed inc so all previous mods i have no idea about, for exaple, the adjustable timing and milled heads...

However, the sprocket IS adjustable, I've jsut gotta figure out how the hell to get it off.

 

Why do you keep thinking you have milled heads?

 

You really should have asked, or checked, all of this before you started working on it. Those things are quite imperative, as you've seen.

You can get it off with a 3-jaw puller. It shouldn't be hard.

 

Just because I cant see any reason to go with a shorter pushrod since the base circle of his old cam was a stock size. So why would he just not use a 7.4 length unless it was milled.

 

Wait, is that an assumption, too?

Really, call up speed inc asap and find all this out before you do anything else.

 

blehh been there done that, they just said I dunno

 

Well, what did they say when you bought it? Did you ask about anything that was done?

 

so you think the heads might be milled.
but the base circle of the cam you pulled out was the same as stock.
but the push rods that came out on the car where what size?

mabye you should but a comp push rod length checker
