Default Started my cam swap today.....

I started my cam swap today...

TR224/.563/112 LSA
TR pushrods
918's with Ti Retainers
TSP LS6 Oil Pump
RM Double Timing chain


It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be, that radiator was a **** to get out! Also, that d**n passenger side coil pack bolt, the one all the way in the back under the heater hose....that thing was the worst! Other then those two set backs, it's been going good so far. Tomorrow, I will be swapping out the valve springs, and then tuesday night, I will be putting on my oil pump and timing chain. It has been fun so far. I will keep you guys updated!

if you dont have that valvespring tool made for the LS1, its gonna be a long and hard day tomorrow. My first cam swap was HORRIBLE, my fingers and wrists hurt from changing all the valvesprings.
