I noticed the lack of assembly lube, but that was still the best video on the web. It does my heart good to know there are still Hotrodders and you are Hotrodders in every sense of the word.
It was great that you published on the sixtieth anniversary of me bending over a fender, I bought a $3.00 1947 chev for my 12th birthday and it ran. I'm still at it here in L.H.C.,AZ.
Sorry I wandered, You did this without a "boxtruck of parts" or "a basket of money" real Hotrodders thank you
No need for lube when your cam swapping a running motor not like it was a fresh or rebuilt dry engine.
I have never done a cam swap but after this video i deff feel alot better about tackling it. Not as bad as i made it out to be in my head at all. Thanks for the video
Check this video out, I kinda go into detail about the most asked questions

i Had a Nova Just Like That Back in 1979 With a 350 4 Speed !! New Subscriber
Thanks for the sub! Thats awesome, must've been a nice ride
Great job bro! U make that look easy!
Holy shit. I didn't know you could pull a cam in an ls motor without taking out the lifters. GM made this motor soooooo easy to upgrade
steven lucas yeah unless you wanna upgrade lifters...then you got to pull the heads off
The balancer removal rental tool works with a socket extension if you don’t want to buy the attachment
Ive used all kinds of "sticks" an extension being one lol.
Great down to earth Garage hotrodders video. 💯
5:35 dudes got 3 hands lol
I wouldve threw a nice oil pump/pickup oring and new timing chain on while I was at it, maybe some nicer lifters. A few more hours to really freshen it up. A cam job nonetheless!
Heads have to come off for lifters
This is a sweet vid thanks. It helped me change my cam. Is there info on what to torque each bolt down to? Thx
hey man just subscribed, this video helps a ton! im looking at doing a cam and lifter swap on a 5.3 in my suburban. you have any videos showing a detailed lifter swap like this?
Enjoyed the vid good content you’ve gained a sub 👌🏽
Great video will be using this video on my swap
Glad It's going to help you! Check out my LS cam swap on the Chevy SS. There's a little more detail
Loved the video but do you Torque anything back to spec?
Great job! Did you have to use a different converter or stock with the cam upgrade?
What mufflers are on that car. Nice job just got my torquer 2 cam this morning.
Ok ok I like what you guys are doing great job
What Milwaukee cordless wratch are u using looks very strong? Nice video sound good
great video. Read through all comments and your cordial replies. Earned a sub simply for that. Cheers
dude torque those bolts
keep up the good work bro! screw them haters!!!
I love it that you're using battery impacts on everything! Never would have believed you could pull an LS balancer with an electric impact. Thanks for taking your video to end process and letting that baby rumble, sounded great!
Great video
I was in actual pain when I thought you were putting a DRY cam in, I’ve seen it done on a video before and it made me cringe. But I realized it’s not dry, kudos
Yeah that's kind of what I was thinking seeing the cam go and dry yeah one of these days hes was going to run the lobes off one of um when it doesnt break in correctly, going to be paying for it and pulling that b**** back apart
Good Job
What city are you in? I could use a young knowledgeable friend to help me build my LS2 in my chevelle. Thanks for the video
Cool music . Love it )
My assessment of your answer is always drill the holes are in the gear where the cam pin goes into and put an offset bushing in it. Not all cam Manufacturers grind a 4° advance into their cam.
This particular cam has a 2° advance ground in. Drilling holes was not necessary.
New subscriber. Awesome content.

How do you know when to stop wrenching down on the rocker arms at 14:03 ? Also where can I find the lifter retaining tool you used to hold lifters up?
Will the wooden dowels go in even if the lifters arent in the up position? That's kinda where I'm stuck right now..... the wooden dowels are slid in but I'm afraid to slide the cam out.
te quedo con madres el pinche jale que le hiciste.,se escucha con madre..!
What size are those rods that you're using for the lifter retainer holders
Thank you bro good video
Subbed. Best cam replacement video on here!
Thanks man that means alot!
ruclips.net/video/IH-cFEbdxOg/видео.html
Nice job guys 👍👍👍
Thanks!
Hi!!! What length are the wooden sticks in cm please. Thanks and best regards
If I could get all that space to work on my GTO it would be fantastic.
I can only dream.
If I remember correctly I think you just need to pull the radiator, its not too bad you got it
@@BoBuilds I know, it's just a pain on my back to bend over the engine bay. I probably could be done it on a chair if I could have this much space.
Tall people problems lol.
@Gbenn Gbenn it's a hassle, but I would pull the engine. It'll be way easier to work on it, rather than squeezing in there.
At least that's been my experience.
@@DKLONGHORN sure a drive back and forth to the customers house for the next 3 days for the same price. Also replace all the high mileage consumables brittle hoses and plastic parts. Walk away from the job with a bill instead of a Check
Dude i know thats a roller camshaft and lifters but you still have to cover the cam in some kind of assembly lube just to enseure nothing happens down the road you probably caused premature wear doing that!
I know its not the best thing to use but I always soak my cams in the thickest oil I have laying around. But your right assembly lube is the best thing to use
That cam look dry as fxxx
Its funny how badly people want to see the cam visibly lubed. I swear next video im going to spend 10 minutes lubing that damn thing to stop the "dry" comments lol thanks for watching the vid
the lifter rollers have oil in them , a e --- previous running of engine.
Just the way she likes it...dry and deep!!! XD
Great video! I would've cleaned the motor/engine bay with all the free space and parts out of the way!
I really like that valve spring compressor tool, being able to work on two valves at the same time with the head installed a Big thumbs up for the tool... Definitely worth looking into
Should p6 change oil and coolant too. Who pays for all of this? Time is money as a mobile mechanic. He's probably charging per job not hour. More task=more time=less money
Whts the best cam to put in a 05' GMC Sierra 2WD ( TSP stage2 truck cam or TSP stage3 truck cam )
What about getting it to top dead center before you take it apart?
Do you ever get a crank sensor error after a 5.3 cam swap (Truck Norris)?
Already had a tune.
How do you set the rockers ? I need to go do this and that part scares me lol
No lube on the cam shaft during assembly and no torque wrench
If it fits it sits 😂😂
Yeah, I noticed that also. It looks like you avoided tragedy though. Over all good build. You made it look easy.
Ive never installed a cam dry
My bad brother, I said you. I meant he. Lol. That's the first time I've ever seen anyone not torque bolts and not lube the cam. I wouldn't do it, but he got it to run. May it never fail!! (that's my prayer)
Looks like this is his first time doing this type of job.
Do you reuse the push rods? What torque were the rocker arms?
straight haters in the comment section. Great good. Im tearing my 5.3 down and just boosted my confidence watching your video.
might be the crap music!
bout to tear down and rebuild a 5.7
How did you prevent valves from falling?
Do you need to tune after a cam swap?
So you need to turn crank for a each cylinder?
Did you use a mic to set up the valve springs?
Sounds awesome,what king of mufflers you running
i have a question what kind of cam is that one and what kind of springs
awesome video. do you have any videos on swapping a cam in a lt1 ? im thinking about swapping a cam into my lt1 95 camaro
Lt1 requires you to remove intake to remove the lifters. It's just the same as this just a bit more work
Did you have to turn the crank to torque the rocker arms?
What length are those rods you used to hold the lifters from falling
What was that other plate that was bolted to the head for the coring changer
Do you ever degree the cam? I'm putting a cam in mine and some guys say degree some say not to so idk...
Could the electric cord BE anymore in the way?!!
appreciate that video that's what's up
How long do the dowel need to be if u don't remove front clip
The stock rocker bolts are 24 foot pounds aftermarket bolts are 26, I use blue Loctite, if you have good trays there is no need for any wooden dowels.
Wooden dowels as a just in case. Last thing you want to hear when you're pulling the cam is that dull thud of a lifter hitting the crank because it fell out of the bucket :P
yea a couple $ for the peace of mind of a lifter not falling is cheap insurance :D
dowels are just security im sure, no one wants to risk pulling heads and dropping oil pan
What kind of brand parts do you used?
What pound of spring pressure do those use?
I put a comp thumper cam and springs in my 02 Silverado 8 years ago. 5 years ago I blew the 5.3 up hydrolocked it going thru lots of mud and water too fast with cold air intake. took the cam n springs out and put it in the new junkyard 5.3 motor like a fuckin champ
I have a 04 Sierra/Silverado. Are these cams just drop in? No reprogram needed?
Unfortunately a tune is needed. Your AFR and idle air would be out of whack and would run terrible
@@BoBuilds awh damn. Just another thing to add to the build. Haha
@@BoBuilds do you tune your own?
👍
Awesome video 🔥
ruclips.net/video/IH-cFEbdxOg/видео.html
What is the duration of this cam at .006 lift?
What is that stick you use to hold the lifters up? while rotating the cam @ 5:17-6:00
Ya can do valve springs faster with a bit of flat steel with a hole in it and a bolt that fits in rocker rail bolt hole. Good job though.
Really well done video
ruclips.net/video/IH-cFEbdxOg/видео.html
How many hp do you gain with this upgrade?
So if I understood right which ever springs your going to replace lets say all of them you can start with 1 & 6 so you set it at top dead so it keeps the valves up then you move on to the next rotate it 90 to get to 8&5 then replace the valves and so on. Am i right ?
Yes exactly, top dead center is insurance incase the valve falls
So top dead center is 1 & 6, and then 90 degree turn gets you 8 & 5? What does another 90 degrees gets you?
Didn't check cam timing measure for correct pushhrod length or use a torque wrench.
Wat happens if you cam it and don’t time it
Is there tuning involved after doing a cam job?
New to this! 2002 5.3
Yep, tuning is necessary.
Is that 3/8's round rod?
i would like to know what size diameter is the wooden pin is.?
Sweet Video!
Did the swap require a tune afterwards? What stage was this cam? Do you have a video swapping LS lifters?
Super clean job on the video! Loved the time lapse and music while showing the work ! ! !
It requires a tune.
It’s a Torquer V2 from Texas Speed (no stage)
@@stlchucko will they cam work in a 5.3 vortex.
Eric Wilkes
It’ll work in a 5.3, but it’s pretty big and not optimal for a stock longblock (better with higher compression or bigger displacement). Should check piston to valve clearance
Great video! I’ve never tried and engine work but this video boosted my confidence to finally install my own cam. You’ve gained another sub from me. Quick question, what is the long thing you put above the cam at 5:18?
I'm glad you liked the video!! They're just wooded dowel rods. When you slide them in above the cam they wedge the lifters in place to prevent them from falling, just a cheap little trick to make life easier
Where do you get the wooden dowels
@@Pistonmaifa I couldn’t get the dowels to work when I did it. I ended up hooking up an air compressor to each spark plug hole with a compression tester as I changed each of the components in the head. Worked like a charm. Just make sure you don’t run out of air or the power doesn’t turn off.
@@Pistonmaifa check your local diy, hardware, or hobby stores.
My 2002 c5 as far as I know is stock other than borla exhaust and I've been told it has zo6 heads there's definitely a # 234 I believe on the passenger side head . This thing is immaculate and will travel. My question is I want the heavy lope of a radical cam what else is nesacery to accommodate this mod.
243 not 234. Cam upgrades REQUIRE valve springs/pushrods. Most cam kits come with that. Then upgrade your timing chain and oil pump. Those aren't AS necessary but if you wanna do it right. And if the car has higher mileage might as well do lifters as well.
I stepped into a really nice c5 and always driven trucks in the past, I know this is going to sound stupid but explain to me the importance of tuning and what I can accomplish with performance
On a stock motor with stock heads, using a stage 1 cam, do I get the stock length pushrods 7.40. Because they sell so many different sizes. 7.42, 7.40, 7.375. I assume those are for different heads.
Unless the center lobe changed on the new cam or you're not using stock lifters then yes you'll be fine. Factory roller lifters have a preload from anywhere of .60 to .100. Only way to know is to assemble and check pr length with a checker tool.
can you give a link for the valve spring compressor in the video?
the link in description is not the same one.
They have some on Amazon, just type in the year and make of your vehicle to make sure it's a compatible match. I put in LS Spring Compressor and got this for $65:
www.amazon.com/Valve-Spring-Compressor-Tool-LSX/dp/B07HFKDQK2/ref=sr_1_3?crid=1VEFIE5U4WJOZ&keywords=ls+valve+spring+compressor&qid=1560402951&s=gateway&sprefix=ls+v%2Caps%2C147&sr=8-3
How did you keep the valves from dropping? Air hooked up threw the spark plug hole?
He had the piston on tdc
I have a torque wrench like yours. Do something enough it’s second nature
I just got the truck norris nsr cam for my silverado 5.3l do you have to take the rockers and push rods out to just swap cam
Yes. You need to also push the lifters up and hold them up. Like he did with a dowel. Use wood or plastic, not a metal incase you scratch the alloy block, or chip the lifters
What transmission is on the engine?
Would this process be "pretty much" the same for the engine in my 2000 silverado 5.3l?
Yes sir, you just need to remove your radiator and being a 2000 you need to remove your clutch fan assembly. With that out of the way its the same steps. I should have a Silverado cam video shortly
LS1 is LS1
What kind of cam would you recommend for a ls1 turbo build? Is it based on the size of the turbo? Is the turbo completely irrelevant to the cam size? I feel like the lift is important for it but I’m completely unsure.
There's a bunch of different turbo cams out there. Just look on ls1tech. You're gonna want something with a higher lsa like 116 or higher.
Every cam it's a turbo cam. Find out where you want your powerband to be. That's where it'll be when turbocharged just more of it
What are the wooden dowels doing? Holding the lifters? Pretty green to the LS engine
Yes... holding up lifters
I’ve never used anything. Spin the cam and the lifters stay up
@@nsboost likes to live life on the edge apparently. :D
I have picked through the comments and can't find anyone else asking when swapping the springs would it be better to have air ran along with keeping the cylinder at tdc dropping a lifter or a valve it my #1 fear for doing this myself
If the piston is at TDC, there won’t be enough room for the valve to drop. You can feel the piston through the spark plug hole to be certain it’s at TDC.
Yeah top dead center is easier to me than airing up the cylinders but that's just my opinion
What size cam is it and brand
Where are the torque specs, no assembly lube on the cam ?
@@BoBuilds 😂😂😂 #CheckMate
@@BoBuilds I myself would have used the lube on the cam instead. Awesome 69 nova
Crank gear 12 o’clock cam gear 6 o’clock position set up is the same for a 5.3 lm7?
Yep same process for the 5.3. All ls engines actually
GreaseMonkeyMods when doing my cam swap i got my wooden dowels stuck they broke while being inside . How can I get them out? Removing heads , or dropping trans and pushing them all the way out the back?
I like to give the valves a tap with a rubber hammer after seating keepers just to make sure
Good tip
Is that so you have the possibility of getting hit in the face by a valve spring?
My policy too.
I need a valve spring compressor like that
Same lol
That looks like the one I use on my swaps you can get it from summit racing
What’s a good cam for a 5.3 vortec ? I wan it to chop like it’s about to die lol..
Btr stage 2 cam ls6 springs
So u just give the rocket arms a good tightening? It don’t hurt doing it withought having pushrod in middle of lifter or whatever they be saying to “properly” install it??
The best way to do it is to torque it to 22LBS while on the base of the cam lobe so that its not under tension. I usually just torque to 22 spin the motor over a couple times and recheck
GreaseMonkeyMods & u haven’t witnessed no problems with doing it that way?
Nope, there's no valve lash to adjust or anything. As long as they are all tight your good to go
Ok I really appreciate that. That’s the only part I was stuck on about doing it myself. U gained yourself a new subscriber.💪🏻💯
How about you come down to Denver & take my 84 chevy & ill pick it up in a month!!!!!! U know what's up homie!!!!! 😂
How much did that cost?
Hey bro wanted to know what exact valve spring tool you have?
It’s called “the gewgal”
