Cam install shopping list.. Is this everything I need? I'm ready for the install.. My entire exhaust is finally here, and now I'm finally ready to buy everything else for my Cam install.
What I already have in my possession:
TR230
TR 7.4 Hardened Pushrods
COMP CAM Beehive 918's
What I plan to buy from TSP tomorrow!
COMP CAM Titanium Retainers
Rollmaster Double Timing Chain (not heat treated) whatever that means
Ported LS6 Oil Pump
New Valve Seals
Gasket Kit w/bolt
Am I leaving anything out. I'd like to do this once, and do it right the first time.
Thanks for any replies

yea all looks good... Just make sure you have all the stupid stuff like locktite and oil etc. I would advise you do your ASP pulley while your at it. Good luck bro, cams are fun.

What is the locktite for?
And I can't really afford $200 for the ASP right now either.

the locktite is needed for the timing gear bolts/cam bolts etc. Dont forget dexcool/ oil/ filter/ any tools you need... I know i spent about 200 bucks at kragen on misc stuff to do the job correctly. Oh and gloves will be your best friend.

Good Gear Pullers, valve spring removal tool, pen magnets or steel rod in case your lifters wont stay up, Big *** breaker bar and impact socket for the pulley, Good torque wrench, long bolt to get the pulley started, extra car for trips to the auto store.

1. www.ls1howto.com - best writeup I've ever seen.
2. Longer crank bolt
3. 3-arm puller
4. antisieze
5. spark plug compressor fitting
6. paper towels for the coolant that will soon be on the floor
7. big ***** breaker bar/250 ft-lb torque wrench
- just a few I can come up with having the install still fresh in my head
