Awesome guys I love the 3800 V6 and I love that you guys give information on it! It's hard to find good information sometimes for the 3800 not many videos on here. So I really appreciate it when you do make videos on this!
You can use the smallest Cam bearing from a 440 engine set to block the rear balance shaft bearing hole. I machined mine to the same diameter as the old balance shaft bearing.
You can tell a lot about a performance shop by observing how clean and organized it is. I’ve worked in the best and seen the worst. ZZP scores 💯 +++. My OCD started kicking in when the cam was being coated with assembly lube with gloves on. I would be concerned about gritty dirt on the gloves and not being able to easily feel it. But I’m sure Bo used clean new gloves for a trouble free installation 🏁.
Wrecked my 04 lesabre(cosmetic. Engine and tyranny fine) car still runs and drive. A buddy offered me his 03 Bonneville, with a hard bottom end knock, for $100. Already got the knocker out the Pontiac, today my series 2 is coming out of the lesabre and going into the Bonneville. The Pontiac is in near perfect condition. Once I get it to factory form, I think my first step is going to be upgrading to the aluminum series 3 intake. That's only possible because of you guys. Keep up the great work guys.

That's what she said 😂😂 jk great taturial I'm just talking in all the info. I really don't want to miss anything when I rebuild my supercharge gtp swap on my firebird
You must be a magician bc the timing chain does not wiggle on that easily when the crank sprocket is fully seated. Unless there is an issue with the chain length bei g consistent. I tried doing it this way for two hours, and there was not enough slack in the chain to get the cam sprocket flush enough to slide on.
watched a precious zzp video on cam selection, they recommended you run the 1.65” rockers to avoid top end damage due to how aggressive this cam is. the 1.65” rockers give plenty enough room for clearance, and are far from better than the stock rockers.
Is it bad that I was cringing when the crank sprocket was being tapped on? I took mine to the local machine shop and told them to make it fit like the original. (They had several cranks in stock to compare)
Have a question I have a L67 out of a 04 SS impala it was my uncles car and he is the original owner of it. He had the vehicle warrantied or recalled or something and a long block was installed is this going to affect anything can I still purchase the XP cam because that is the cam I plan on installing
Fwd 3.6 lfx v6 will push 380hp and 315lbft of torque with just bolt ons and tuning. That is 100% factory engine. I see no need to deal with this pushrod dino when you have thousands of these 3.6 in impalas ect for cheap running around. And yes the 2012- up 3.6 is trouble free as long as you maintain them.Hey and you get the 6spd auto with this engine also, no 4t65e nightmare to deal with.
I've seen quite a few 12+ 3.6 shit the bed. This dino motor can be abused it's whole lifetime and still holds more reliability than the 3.6 and we're taking decades later... U must have a love or hatred for this motor if ya watched the vid. Maybe it was a rusty 3.4 setup gtp that got ya worked lol.
@@cocodog85 if this is a w body you might be able to just take everything from the donor car and switch it over to the other car but I'm not sure if it's an older model it may not work I'm not sure. If you were to go from a 3.6 W body Impala to a say 3.5 or 3.9 Impala you should be able to do Plug and Play just switch everything from one car to the other but like I said I don't know on the older cars if it's plug and play or not.
no way you should have to delete the balancer shaft ... the Vibration is going to be crazy and will lose power. should revaluate you double roller chain and gear
Doing it this way is nearly impossible ive put the crank sprocket all the way back like he said and now ive fukked myself because there is no way im getting the cam sprocket on (not enough room with the chain) ill need to somehow back off the crank sprocket Any idea how i can do that @zzperformance

My kids car is purring with this cam in it along with all the other goodies. Good job zzp
Put the crank shaft gear in a toaster over and warm it up. That will slide on easy. Don't burn yourself.
Great tutorial thanks guys!
Any time!
I like this episode...Thanks
Maaaaan thank God for RUclips

would you consider doing 1.9 rocker installs? I would love to see that!

@zzperformance are those Keith Black pistons in that engine? They look avery similar to the ones I also bought.
GM OEM Pistons actually
Can you tell me the torque specs for the timing cover bolts as well as the water pump bolts? Thanks.
What size is the cam bolt???
Yeahhhhh, stroke that shaft
The image insert showing the 0 on the cam offset from the others. Is that because the Cam was advanced or dialled in ?
Are you able to heat the sprocket up in an oven or with an induction heater before installing?
Camshaft vids never install thee most important part. Camshaft bearings. Why? Am I missing something?
My cam doesn’t have the notch for the timing pulley
Wat would this do for my Grand Prix with a new camshaft

When u install the double roller how do you know if u got the timing correct . (Biggest concern) diy mechanic :/
When is hv3 coming in
We are currently re-designing the HV3 and unfortunately do not have an ETA at this time.
@@ZZPerformanceChannel making it better?
Do you think forged internals would be needed with this cam?
how rough is the engine without the balance shaft?
my bad I thought the 3800 already had a double roller factory
What is the round a boutique price for a complete rebuild kit for3800s3^
What would it cost to complete rebildfor a 3800s2

If i were rich id just hire u to build my 3800 im sure its stock even though i bought it used

when you put a 3.6, along with it's 6sp tranny, into a car that had a 3.8 and 4t65e, do you need to change the cpu?

Crazy how hundreds of people have done it with no issue for years.
How much for all of thatb
$400-$500 depending on the type, plus taxes and shipping. You can find links to the products in the description.
