Default Factory LS1 camshaft......??

I just had my cam swapped, but I have no idea what to do with my factory camshaft and valvesprings???

Pretty much garbage. I would keep it in-case you ever want to go back to stock for warranty repairs or to sell it.

I hate to give away my ideas but might try this. If you have underdrive pulley's use your stock pulley and cam to make a lamp. 2 bolts and 2 washers will secure the cam to the pulley as the base. I cleared the cam, gloss black on the pulley, and bought a lamp kit at wal-mart for like $10. Since the cam is hollow it is perfect. Heaviest lamp I own.

Well if you are in a smog **** area just make yourself a two piece timing cover and keep it to swap it out for smog checks.

I am really consider this. I wish I didn't have to.


My stock cam is sitting on my computer desk. Kinda a reminder of that weekend battling with dual valvesprings.
