Hey guys,

I have a powerbond UD pulley that came with a gm crank bolt. So does that mean i dont need a crank bolt anymore?

So all i need now is the water pump gasket and front cover gasket? Correct?

One of the most popular cams out there. Shouldn't have a problem finding out everything you want to know.

I know I could just research it, but I coulda swore that's why this site was here. I could just ask for help and ya'll would help me! lol... I was wondering about the Magicstick 4 that came out compared to the Torquer 3... I know hardly anything about cams but I want more low end really and that screams Torquer, but the Magicstick produces anywhere from 60 to 80 horse gains!!! So what do I do?

I used a new GM crank bolt on my ASP U/D pulley, it is plenty long. I also re-used my water pump gaskets and front cover gaskets. I would inspect the front crank seal though, if it is suspicious I would change it. Although purchasing new parts will more then put the soul at ease.
