Help needed for heads/cam install
Help needed for heads/cam install I picked up a cam and heads already. All i have to get is some gaskets, bolts, oil, and some misc. tools that i will need 1/2 breaker bar with socket for crank pulley, and a torque wrench. I would like to do this install over the weekend of the 4th and 5th of november. Im would like to get someone to help who has done this before. Car will be inclosed in a garadge with lighting, and i will provide food and beverages. Thanks and any help will be great
Thanks, i have practically memorized ls1howto. I still would like someone who has done it before for help. This is my dd car and cant afford to not be able to drive it monday. Thanks for your imput.

UPDATE: Well another day of wrenching comes to an end. First would like to thank rob at overkill motorsports for coming up to help with the install. We put the cam in and had to stop because did not have the 12 point socket for the arp balancer bolt. Also had to stop because apariantly i broke the oil Pressure sensor when i took the intake manifold off. But we got both heads back on and the drivers side header on. I also made a tool for cleaning out the bolt holes that worked better than the shop vac and better than threading papertowels into the hole. You get a straw and thread a long pice of papertowel through it and that way it will go all the way down to the bottom of the bolt holes and you make sure there is no coolant in there. When you bring it back up you just push a little more papertowel through a little more then just chop off the wet part from the other end. This saved me lots of time cleaning ot the holes. Tomorow i will go buy the 12 point socket and try to see if autozone even carrys the oil Pressure sensor. (i dont think they do) If they have it i will put the manifold back on as well as the pasanger side header and hook up the y pipe. Finally double check to make sure all the **** is reconected say a short prayer and fire it up. Wish me luck
CLEAN YOUR PM BOX!!!! I tried to PM this to you and couldn't... Anyways, here's my reply to your PM:
I broke mine from the LS6 intake and got mine from Auto Zone... If not try any other auto parts store, one of the big chains will be able to find one of their stores that has it in stock. It's pretty common actually...
Good job man! What are you doing about a tune?

At the very LEAST make sure you have a wrench that size... I had neither and installed it with an adjustable crescent wrench and even with the intake off, due to lack of mobility, it FOREVER!!!!
Yeah man, sorry about forgetting the socket for the ARP bolt (rushing around I'm lucky I remembered to take directions to your place with me).
Demonbird, I gave him the PN for the socket that you can get from Kragen for the OPSU, so he should be good to go.

! Yes i got the socket it was like $10 and put the oil pressure sensor on order and will pick it up tomorrow. I plan on throwing it on this weekend. Its going to be a bitch because i have the manifold on. I hope i can get back there and get that dam thing in. I f bodys because there is no room under the cowl to do this kind of ****. Thanks guys for you help
