Been watching your videos for about a year. Recently retired 40 years exp automotive technician. I think your videos are great and to the point. Thank You 👍
Appreciate that, I hope this becomes a resource for many first time Cam installers. You can save a ton of money installing your own cam if you know how and have patience 😉
“If you want it done right, do it yourself” watch this series in preparation for my future cam swap in a few months is giving me all the confidence in the world. This type of diligence is only done by the highest tier shops and you’re teaching us how to match the quality of work and I greatly appreciate it. Can’t wait to see the start up and tuning portion of the process
I'm an EE, not an ME, but: I'd suggest that the torque spec is based on additional factors beyond bolt size & thread count, such as vibration under load. I doubt any engineer manually calculated 26 vs18 lb-ft. I suspect those numbers came from simulation. One might argue that, when the LS2 was designed, *many* years after the LS1, software had improved, resulting in a less aggressive torque spec. But, alas, only Brad would know. (Where Brad is the unfortunate intern who got assigned to spend his entire internship determining the necessary torque for five bolts.)
I may have missed it in a previous video, but will you need to get the car tuned/re-tuned (if it already is), after swapping this new cam in? Great step-by-step how-to, thank you for making it K.I.S.S.
I will go through the initial startup with existing tune - then I will tune it using HP Tuners as soon as the weather permits (cold here in the Midwest).
@@Toys4Life when I bought my '06 3LT, it had a terrible tune in it, so I had it tuned by a respected LS expert (3rd generation drag racer) here in Idaho. He uses HP Tuners, and the car runs awesome now. I looked at HP Tuners and it seemed like it was complicated to use. Is it?

I appreciate that, sir!! Thank you!
You exhibited great patience with your install👍. Much better than some mechanics . Really like your DYI videos

Awesome. Thank you for this video.
Excellent, thank you!
Nice cam specs..
Lobe sep. angle on point.
At 5:32 -- what do you mean here? why would one be using a vibration damper bolt to remove the valve seals in the first place?
Sorry, that's an editing error. I missed it. Please disregard that pop up sorry for the confusion.

Bro just install it already so we can see dyno numbers 😂
Patience is a virtue, and 1/4 Mile track MPH or dyno numbers will come!.
Ultra sLIck not stick.
Hopefully that's the only error you found in the video? 😔
@@Toys4Life You still get a thumbs up.
@JackDidley-k8x I appreciate that 🙏
