Head/cam installing I have no idea where my friend is , we were supposed to do the heads n cam on my Camaro last weekend and he hasnt picked up all week. and hasnt responded to messages, etc..
So what Im assuming now is that he is either in jail or has fled the country. Honestly..
I need to do the head/cam on my car and I dont have all the proper tools to do so.
what shop is there in 626 area, that can do this process for me for a reasonable yet quality job. I have automotive knowledge, so I will also help them if they want to..
Thanks for all the help..
Now, secondly..
I need to purchase some stock LS1 rockers and I dont see any. Not even on SDPC and Harland Sharp doesnt sell any rockers, just rebuilds em..
help pls.

I just put some ls6 heads on my ls1, I have a f1 cam on it and I was trying to see if I could get away with putting 1.75 rockers from comp. If I can get away with it, I can sell you my stock rockers, I have to do some homework on this first, Im looking for a rear end, do you know were I can get a good deal?

Im going with a Torquer V3..
Okay, I talked to Texas speed, twice.
They dont reccomend aftermarket rockers, they said the stock rockers are the best, thats why I decided to stick with them.

Well, if the above copy and paste doesn't work it to gm parts house. they have the rockers for $9.13 ea or $146.08 + shipping.
I have the updated 01 and up oem ls1/6 rockers new that I never used in my build. I paid around $150 shipped a yr ago and never put them on. Would part w/ them for $125 shipped to Ca.

Sorry I missed your thread last week...we keep the stock rocker arms in stock, as well as several brands of the aftermarket rockers! Let us know if we can help!

Just use the ls1howto for some stuff if you get lost & the torque specs. If you mechanically inclined you shouldn't have a problem. I honestly only used it for the torque specs. It's a pretty basic procedure. Just try to remember what you took off & in what order, then reverse that when putting it back together.
Word of advice. Tear it down from the top to bottom. And remove the cam after you already got the lifters out. Also install the cam & then drop the lifters in that way you don't have any extra steps or worries.

Tool really isn't that big a deal. I thought it was gonna be more involved when I did mine, but I only used a handful of tools. I had a buddy help me with a couple minor things, but did 99% of it myself.
