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!

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.

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.
