I will be swaping my cam in a few weeks and I will also be installing an SLP Double roller setup. I was wondering if i would need to replace the oil pan gasket once I dropped it and the oil Pump gaskets. Also do you know where I can find the torque specs for most of the common bolts on this install. I can remember finding a link with all the torque specs before but can't find it now.

 

You wont need to replace your oil pan gasket.

Torque specs on my site here: http://ls1.fbody.com ..just click on "specs" at the top.

 

I used jmx's install guide (in combo with the guide on torquecentral). They were both great. The only things I can suggest is to use lock-tite on the cam bolts (the timing gear and the retaining plate). I don't think it is a MUST if you use the right torque specs, but it's good peace of mind.

There is no need to replace the oil pan gasket, and there is no oil pump gasket (only make sure that the pickup tube o-ring is in place.) The SLP double roller probably also suggests to use some RTV on the spacer plates (my rollmaster chain did.)

ALSO, just as a reminder. The back two bolts on the oil pan are much smaller and have a different torque spec, there's been a few lately that have snapped those bolts off.

 

Thanks a lot guys. One more question How do I get the stock sprocket of the crank when installing the double roller setup? Any other tips would be great.

 

I used the same 3 jaw puller that i used to pull the pulley off with.
