LE2 Install tips!
LE2 Install tips! If any of you guys have any tips regarding an Le2 install please post any you might have: that includes torque specs, easy was of pulling certain items, or just some good common sense stuff that some of us might miss on an install 
Take your time and span it out over a few days, also keep things very clean and dont rush any thing. You also dont need to drench things in motor oil before they go in and dont use assembly lube on the cam, light coat of motor oil will do. As long as you have good install guides, i.e several and check every thing your doing it will be ok. You also need to drop the oil pan when doing the cam or you will tear the gasket.

I assume the you degree a cam to sanity check that it is correct. If somthing appears to be off then what is adjusted to make things better?
Is there a way to reposition a crank gear? Any other adjustment?

You need to install the cam at the ICL that is listed on the cam card to make sure the parts will work correctly. If it's installed wrong you can bend valves and be seriously down on power.

Yeah, definatly degree the cam. Or you'll end up like me going back in there and having to correct your mistake. But I was told not to degree it and that it was not necessary, so DEGREE THE CAM. Do not forget that.
