Alright, time for forum input before I miss something crucial. /flamesuit on
LS3 short block comes back from the machine shop soon. Trying to gather a list of the LS-specific tools I'm going to need to finish assembly. Not looking for the "sockets, torque wrench", more the "cam timing wheel, pushrod length checker" etc. Have assembled an engine before, but first LS/pushrod engine.
In the cart atm, please feel free to replace with alternatives/critique/tell me what I'm missing:
Crank Socket:

Balancer tool:

Pushrod checker:

Edit:
Letting shop do the cam, not something I want to mess with and spend 100 in tools for :\ let them do it while they throw in the rotating assembly lol.
