We are in the middle of swapping my heads and cam for some Stage 2.5 LS6 Heads and a TSP Tsunami cam...We ran into a problem or we think it is a problem anyway...When we put the cam in, it seems like it goes too far back. We've done LS cam installs before and have never encountered this. Please help! I can't find anything in the writeups. I appreciate your help in advance.

 

What do you mean by it's going back to far? Explain a lil bit more! I have the tsunami cam and didn't have one single problem with the install! Let us knwo more of what u mean so we can help man!

you sure youve done a cam swap before? just slide it in and bolt it up.

 

When you bolt the retainer plate on it will pull cam back in place for the line up pin to sit in the cam gear.

 

When we slide the cam in and put the cam retainer plate on the cam can move back and forth about a 1/4 inch between the cam retainer plate and the back of the block. Yes, we have done two LS1 H/C swaps prior to this one. I just dont remember seeing this before.

 

once its bolted to the retainer plate like ski23 said. just move on. i wouldnt worry about it.

 

That's what happens bro. Put it on flush and bolt the plate on

 

Retainer prevents it from moving forward, cam gear prevents it from moving backwards

You're fine, abnormal is when it slides off a main or wont go in all the way

 

Thanks for the replies guys!

 

Bolt it up and make some power man. you may not have noticed it in the past.

 

I just did this exact setup a couple weeks ago to my car, runs strong! you'll be happy!

 

Got it tuned today! I freaking love it
