Hey guys i just got a set of ls6 heads and a ms4 cam to swap on my ls1. Im tring to go ahead and put everything in while its under the knife. Heres what im changing. Ls7 lifters and trays, double roller timing chain, gaskets, valve covers, head bolts, and a little port job on the heads. Is there anything else that im missing.

 

oil pump, crank bolt

 

pushrods

 

beer...

 

got the ls6 oil pump and hardend pushrods. need the crank bolt.

 

anything else i might need while its in the shop?

 

Got double valve springs?

 

yea patriot gold dual valve springs.

 

I think you're good then. I'm assuming a front cover seal is in with the gaskets. A little RTV for the cover and make sure you clean out the head bolt holes really well. Have fun!

 

You need to be careful when installing the spring kit. Borrow a spring install height checker & check all the cylinders. Our spring kits setup @ 1.800" on every hole, but I've heard of people having different install heights with that spring kit. Make sure your at 1.800" so you dont have any spring failures.

 

bad experience with ls7 lifters. go with some comp lifters. just my .02
