So i am going to be swapping heads and installing my cam here shortly what all is recommended to do during the cam swap? Should the oil pump be changed? Lifters?? Id imagine the timing chain should be changed??

Currently waiting on new head bolts because i refuse to reuse head bolts but what all should i replace while doing this?

Thanks for taking the time to reply all

 

pretty much as you stated... timing chain,oil pump,lifters,head bolts, head gaskets and measure for push rod length to achieve the correct amount of lifter preload. So you might have to purchase new push rods. You could also measure to figure the quench dimension to figure the optimal head gasket thickness, which might slightly raise the C.R. While the front cover is off I would replace the seal

 

What heads and cam are you doing?

 

You will need a lot of new seals. I had a thread on here earlier this week. The WS6 Store put a list together for me. It should be around here somewhere.

 

Head bolts
Head gaskets
Valve cover gaskets
Valve seals
Exhaust manifold gaskets
Front cover gasket kit
Crank bolt
Lifters
Oil pump
Timing set
Thrust plate
Intake manifold gaskets
Water xover gaskets

Optional if look bad
Valley cover gasket
Knock sensor grommets
Knock sensors
Knock sensor harness

That covers every area

Thanks

Might want to reseal the oil pan at the same time, especially if it looks moist.

 

 

OK Tech, it was just a LITTLE too early in the AM to see that.... BTW 5 in the PM is STILL too early....

 

Her neck really makes the whole picture worth it.

 

This. I made my own excel sheet so that I could figure out all the math behind the theoretical calculations.
