packjh Posted March 6, 2007 Report Share Posted March 6, 2007 Im rounding up the final parts before i do my cam installation i was wandering if anybody had a list of seals/gaskets pn's that i need before i do this. I went to auto store today and i think the girl got it all mixed up on my motor and truck. Im also replacing the valve springs as well. So if you guys got any suggestions on what extra parts or stuff ill need throw it out there. thanx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pnblwzd Posted March 7, 2007 Report Share Posted March 7, 2007 You will need: Front timing cover gasket - GM Timing cover crank seal - GM 2 water pump gaskets - GM Red Permatex gasket maker for bottom of cover Locktite 1 Gallon of Dexcool Few cans of brake cleaner just to wash off dirty parts prior to reassembly, I like the CRC in the green can I can find my receipt with GM part #'s when I get home, or go to LS1howto.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What kinda of power are you looking at and all that if i can ask I have the GT2-3 in there now. I think it works well with the Radix, but would be too mild on a n/a vehicle. I did the cam at the same time as the 90mm throttle body and efans, so hard to say how much the cam alone added (LPE claims 30hp on a n/a motor). I picked up just over 100hp between those 3 things added to the Radix though, bringing the total at the crank to 630hp according to my tuner.

BmanSS Posted March 8, 2007 Report Share Posted March 8, 2007 Oh yeah, and 2 sticks of 5/16" wooden dowl to make sure the lifters stay up. 5/16 Steel brakeline works a little better than the wood JMHO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holty Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 so did you come up with a part number list? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CNE Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 water pump, front cover gaskets are both reusable!! As cheap as they are, why would you reuse them? Heck the water pump gasket are bad for leaking without touching them. I see at least 2 a month come in leaking at the factory gaskets. Just my .02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
