One Last Cam Question Before Install
-Bryan
Don't think david (goodrich969) is going to lose any sleep over the fact that your not going to stay in here and help him...considering you never did in the first place. Later
I pretty much told him where to go and look, but I guess I'll have to hold his hand. It frustrates me sometimes how no one can do any work on their own, they have to ask because its the easy way out. I found these answers using the search function and google, just like any person with an IQ high enough for basic motor functions can do as well.
Besides all the hard parts you have with the Cam and Valvetrain parts, you'll need all of the necessary gaskets (which are what you're removing when you tear things apart to put the cam in). Here are all of the gaskets themselves listed, I won't find part numbers, You can go to a local DAP or GM to get them.
LT1/LT4 Camshaft Swap Gasket Package Includes:
GM Front Timing Cover Gasket
GM Opti-Spark Seal
GM Crank Seal
GM Water Pump Drive Seal
GM EGR Gaskets
GM Throttle Body Gasket
GM LT1 or LT4 Intake Manifold Gaskets
GM Valve Cover Gaskets
GM Water Pump Gaskets
I said timing set. Which means chain and gears. I purchased OE Replacement ones from the GM Dealership. Mine were 12 years old, I figured why not replace them while I've got everything apart anyways. Definately won't hurt. I didn't go to the HeavyDuty one because I do not have a vented opti.
The only other thing you'll need is a quality RTV Sealant, ideally the black tube -- it is the highest temp silicone sealant besides the RTV Copper stuff.

With this being known, it has to have been asked before, no?
CZ28.com. LS1tech.com. LT1tech.com LS1LT1.com
All of those are tech sites, that can be easily found by using google -- and all of those sites have search functions (stay with me here). You can search old threads, where people have asked the same questions over and over again. Odds are, people have asked what else they need to do a cam swap.
Besides all of that, and the fact you took a sarcastic comment way too personally.
I also told you (goodrich969) to get an OE replacement one, ideally from a dealer. Autozone isn't the only place that sells OE Replacement parts. gmpartsdirect.com -- or go to shoebox's website to get the info to talk to Jason Cromer, another guy that can get OE replacement parts at little to nothing over cost. The gmpartsdirect online catalog can also be a great resource to use when searching for partnumbers. You can either order from them, or go locally to a dealership.
Another thing -- (easily found using a common search engine, or just searching here) www.shbox.com. One of your best resources for LT1 information. You wonder why people choose to be short, or as you say a "*****" to you. Well, its because people like Shoebox (and MANY others) have taken the time to make free websites with a rediculous ammount of information to help people like YOU with common questions. That way techboards aren't cluttered with the same 5 questions over and over again.
If telling you to use your resources instead of taking the easy way out is being a ***** -- then so be it. Atleast I don't have to have someone hold my hand to do anything.
