    A work table is as important of a tool as any. If you build a stationary 6'x3' work area to place your parts down and get used to it you will find in your own way how to be more efficient, and organized. I have a small area on my bench just for sockets wrenches I'm using for each project also instead of placing them down and doing circles till I'm dizzy and get fed up looking for tools.

    For future reference clean the cam first.. you have to get the rust preventing film off and dirt that's stuck to it...

    i got a 99 tahoe with the 5.7 vortec, i know absolutely nothing about engine parts but what cam and other parts do you recommend that’s not stupid expensive, like under 1500-2000?

      Ik you posted this 9 months ago but I recommend a lt4 hotcam from gm preformance its like 750 bucks and to tune it get a black bear tune tell them all the mods youve done to your truck and they’ll tune a ecu for it and send it to you its like 350 or so bucks

    Would you happen to have a link or part number? Really looking forward to getting this cam, and do you have to change the valve springs?

    • @kimotorsports6174
      @kimotorsports6174  3 года назад +3

      Retainers are COMP Cams 787-16 , valve springs are GM Performance 12499224. I'd recommend a Comp Cams Xtreme Energy 224/230 over the LT4 hot cam, the Vortec heads like more exhaust lift than intake and it should make a bit more peak power.

      I used stock rockers and push rods, I'd recommend a harder push rod for sure.

    with a the 98 gmc’s do you need to pull the engine to do the cam??? A mechanic said its pull the motor or remove the radiator, grille etc…, is this true???

    • @kimotorsports6174
      @kimotorsports6174  2 года назад

      Imo it's way easier to pull the radiator grille, etc than to pull the engine, for the cam you need about 3 feet of space in front of the engine

    • @kimotorsports6174
      @kimotorsports6174  3 года назад +3

      I changed the valve springs to LS6 beehive springs with a certain comp cams spring retainer to get more clearance. I can get the part number if you want, they give you about .530" clearance for lift if I recall correctly

      Do everything he said and don’t forget the 11/32” race locks for the new retainers. Comp cams sells a set

      @kimotorsports6174  6 месяцев назад

      Single plane intakes are best for cars that live at WOT, this is a daily driver. 750 is over-carbed for this engine imo, I prefer snappier response
