Any kind and wise person is a good friend of mine haha!!

So im curious as to if i can keep my ls2 rockers on the exhaust side since they arent off set.
I also checked the numbers and correct me if im wrong...

General Motors Part # 10214664 LS3 Exhaust Rocker Arm
Ls2 roker arms General Motors Part # 10214664
So do i only need to purchase 8 off set rocker arms?
And will the trunion upgrade work on the offset rockers?

And do GM Truk 85 MAFs have the IAT sensors built in?

yes you only need to purchase the 8 offset rockers arms. as for trunion upgrade, not sure if theyre the same or different so wherever you buy from, please lettem know you need them for l92 heads so you can ensure you get the right ones. i lucked out and found some harland sharp modified complete set of intake and exhaust rockers brand new for $275. see some guy on here selling same for $412. wow....

Ill take you 85 off your hands.
And im actually considering buying those if i can jew him down a bit haha.
Of course $100 labor to install trunion upgrades is rediculous so his price is nearly worth it once you figure cost of the trunion kit and the rockers themselves (then the turn around time as well)

lol o we have...I actually remember one of our text conversations ending in rob sayin something like "fine do whatever you want, dont come crying to me when it sucks"

Yes

Like I said man, just do them yourself. Buy a little press or find a buddy with one. Comp did a video thats on youtube showing you how.

im hope my gear head of a friend will have one. if not, i may just have to get out of my comfort zone


heres the video i was referring to.
they obviously go more in depth then i plan to.
ill probably just lightly smooth the valve chambers, and them open the exhaust ports and smooth them as well.

the kit is $120 and the link is located in the description box of the video

AGEARHEAD4LIFE has some good videos too

also, what would i use to clean the block and heads? just simple degreaser and a garden hose?
i was consdering painting the block gun metal grey metallic along with the valve covers
defiantly need to paint the engine bay too......

So i have my ls2 bought, ls3 intake, 92mm tb, l92 heads.
Still need to pick up a cam kit
Need come caddy lifters and ls3 rockers/pedestals from sdpc
I dont know what i want to do with the oil pump. Maybe a melling m295?
I believe i will be settling with a stock ls2 timing chain
And i think im going to "waste" money on gears for a 10 bolt. I wanna see what gears i want for when i buy a new rear
Figure out my air intake situation...
And ummm i think thats it

Ev6 adapters, cam/knock/crank sensor extensions...
Ill have a shop mill my heads .15 and cosmetic .40 head gaskets
Ill go ahead and order new header manifold gaskets
I will also be porting the 4 sets of heads... My 241s, 243s, my friends Audi a4 heads, then my 5364s.

Id love to relocate my battery to the trunk
