flycutting or shortblock building would be cool

zlover129 Mar 13, 2006 08:12 PM

Rod bolt swap!

Z28LS1camaroguy Mar 13, 2006 09:58 PM

yes rod bolt swap along with rear end gear swap that has alot of detail.

Setting up proper valvetrain geometry. I've read so many preload,wipe and PR length posts my head is going explode.

I'd appreciate a header install and cam install right up (seeing as these will be done soon and I have no clue how to do it!). If you don't want to do a right up, maybe send me towards one? Thanks!

I second the flycutting...

All are great ideas. That being said, I know theres a step by step on how to flycut at FFHP, here: http://www.forcefedhighperformance.com/tech_Isky.htm Also, Keliente has done a great job with the ring and pinion install here: http://www.keliente.com/gears.htm As for the rod bolts, you can find step by steps online on how to drop the k member and oil pan. Once you do that, it should be pretty simple to figure out how to swap the rod bolts one at a time. I for one would like to see a writeup on an lsx engine buildup. It would be a huge undertaking to document every step, but its really the holy grail of performance mods.

ls1 auto to m6 swap write up would be great!

Roller rocker install. I cant seem to do the install and adjust the valves correctly. At least I don't think so. I read to hand tightened till the slop in the pushrods are gone. But you can't get your fingers on the rods. I can barely twist them. Is the slop meant up and down movement or twisting motion.
