big day is tomorrow...going to install my HCI on my 02 z06 and was going to print the instructions tonite on ls1howto.com....but the website appears to be down....hopefully it hasnt **** the bucket....cuz i dont really know how to remove the rack n pinion steering

 

Why do you need to pull the rack and pinion?

 

amen i was thinking of doing my cam this weekend just needing to look at how its down and some torque specs

 

cuz its a vette....ive done 3 hc swaps before....just like that write up for tq's and this is my first on the vette so i wanted it

 

hey man wish u luck... take some pic lets seee..... make sure every thing is clean be4 installing......

 

its not a bad job get the proper diameter aluminum dowels and cut them to about 2 and 1/2 feet. Oil them up and insert, when removing the cam.

 

dont have to worry about this....doing heads and cam...so I'll be removing the lifters

 

FOr the guy whoos just doing the cam swap... 5/16 dowel... like 2 feet long, maybe a bit longer to play it safe. Lube it up before you put it in the block.

 

I still don't see what this has to do with changing heads/cam. The most you will have to do is pull the intermediate steering shaft off of the gear for clearance.

 

Yes, the site seems to be down- best bet is just to go to google , type in Ls1howto and cam , and make sure you click the Cached link, it will load up that way just fine.

 

youre a genius!

 

edit...ok i figured it out.

 

no the rack needs removed....it is directly in front of the balancer

wish i had my fbody back...those are cake...this sux so far....3.5 hrs deep

 

Yea, When my buddy wanted to do a cam in his vette I took one look at it and knew it was gonna be no fun compared to the f body.

 

Gotcha. Good luck, man. If you need some torque specs, I can get them off the GM site for you.

 

I'm going to revive this thread....

What's going on with LS1howto.com? Have they closed the doors or what? Just tried going onto their website and it's forwarding me to a generic page.

 

Yep its down, looks more perminant then temporary right now. Ive tried contacting jmX and cant get ahold of him.

Tony.

 

Panic fills the air...LOL
