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.

 

cool, keep em comin

 

<--- Plenty of ice cold beer, nice to take breaks and go back in it

 

DEGREE THE CAM!!!!!!

 

YES !

Bo is that you?

bret

 

Please explain what degree the cam means?
Why is this important?
Can it be done in the car?
Is there a procedure for this anywhere?

 

yep, whats up

 

buy a dregree wheel from JEGS or SUMMIT IT COMES WITH INSTRUCTIONS
you need to dregree the cam to make shure its in right
yes it can be done in the car

 

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.

Bo,

How's the LS1 runnin in the Stang? That cam enough for ya?

Bret

 

havent got the stang running yet but we fired up kyle's ta lastnight with the same cam and it sounds good but a little milder than i thought it would sound.

 

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.

 

these are some great replies, but don't forget to state any problems you had and how you corrected them.
