Early ls1 help??!!!!
How do you manage to strip a splined sleeve again? I find it fascinating how you cry that you are a victim when picked on, but will mouth off when given the opportunity. The f-body bro is strong in this one.
You, being the acronym king, should know how to decipher text. I am disappoint.

Good morning, i have a 94 camaro ls1 issue. I'm a seasoned gm tech., and had a guy approach me with a box of go fast parts and asked if i'd install them. Being a motor head i said yes and dug in. He brought me a new performance cam, lifters, timing chain and gears, intake, throttle body, injectors, cap & rotor, plugs and wires. Since the installation the engine pings on moderate throttle pretty bad. Knock sensor counts climb, timing changes 20 degrees, still pings terrible. The cam he provided was for an 05' which has a differant distr. Drive dowel as opposed to the 94 distr. Being driven by the center of the cam sprocket (all the parts he supplied were for an 05', the timing chain and gear set was wrong, i found out after in installed them, i put a new set in for a 94'). I suspect the cam for the 05' cannot and will not work properly in this 94' engine due to a differance in timing....can anyone verify this??
A) unless "transplanted", a '94 Camaro did not have an LS-1;
B) you mention "cap and rotor". That COULD mean an Opti-Spark distributor, which definitely means the engine is an LT-1, NOT and LS-1, since the LS-1 was "coil on plug"....no cap and rotor;
C) as far as I know, an LS-1 cam won't physically fit into an earlier SBC block, but even if it does, I seem to think that the firing order is different, hence the "difference in timing";
D) the "timing set" for an LS-1 is FAR different than one for the LT-1. The LT-1 cam drive gear also drives the "jackshaft" for the water pump, the LS-1 does not.
Flame suit on......
Ecotech, Iron Duke.....they're both 4 bangers, right???

BTW, how much experience do you have with spline drive outside of the LT1 water pump? I'm leaning towards none. Otherwise you wouldn't keep bringing that up, all it does is point out your ignorance to the matter.
Here you are again with the personal attacks. You really do get butt hurt when a little contrast to your opinion is made don't you?

If you substitute 95 for 05 the OP's question makes sense, ls1 reference not withstanding. However anybody that has come in contact with a LT1 in a professional context would certainly remember it. I suppose with say 5 years under your belt you could say you were 'seasoned' but going back that would still be 13 years after the last LT1 was made. I'm sure dealers don't see many Red Headed step childs these days.

Maybe it just needs a tune. Some parts specs or part numbers would help us figure out if pulling 20° of timing and pinging is to be expected......

Early ls1 help??!!!! Let me dumb it down for you. You are willing to mouth off about the OP yet then cry that libel statements are being made towards you when you get picked on, and you want to say I'm butt hurt?

Now you want to bring libel into it, let's first know what that means mmkay. I didn't once misrepresent or misinterpret or otherwise change what the OP said or intended to say. Guys in the other thread did that to me, see the difference?
Look at you attacking ME for something your bros said. How pathetic.

My facts are straight. You are trying to say the OP isn't competent. Instead of asking questions you jump on the bandwagon and once again successfully argue yourself in circles.
So every time it is brought up you are incompetent to maintain a splined sleeve you are going to go into this long diatribe of ridiculousness? Yeah, no butt hurt there!
Ah! Sarcasm! I'm finally getting it!

Early ls1 help??!!!! Are you putting words in my mouth again? What did I actually say, not what did you think I meant? Your assumptions are amusing though.
For clarification, what I'm saying is I'm not sure what the OP is trying to say exactly as the information provided is lacking and wrong in multiple parts. There is nothing anyone here can do to help the OP (even with assuming LS1 is LT1 and cap and rotor is the Opti), as he did manage to get it all assembled but is having running issues. Without the rest of the parts specs or numbers we can't help him figure it out any further than he already is.
But, I do UNDERSTAND why others are hazing him.
The only person going in circles here is you with your repetitive spline sleeve envy.
See? Circles.
You know, coming from you (someone I routinely see attacking others, like my self in this thread among others), I find it interesting you are acting so proud about this moment you are having; a moment of hypocrisy. Sounds personal.

SSRR likes to hold onto stuff, dont let it bother you.
He still thinks I camp out in the left lane doing 10mph under the speed limit because I dont believe in speeding. It doesnt even warrant a response any more lol. Thats just his "thing"

GM techs (especially the seasoned ones) I know can glance at an LT1 and knows it's not an LS1. That is very very very easy to do. Not understanding the quirks of an LTx is one thing. Not knowing an LTx from an LSx is another.
It's like not knowing an Iron Duke from an Ecotec, there's a pretty big difference between the two just by looking at them. It's not even close. That's a rookie mistake from a "seasoned GM tech".
