Oh but back on topic.... get a new oil pan gasket and change it because you will more than likely break the stock front seal on the pan when you pull the timing cover. If you can spring the extra cash for it get the LT4 composite valve covers because they work with the rockers better than clearanced stockers. GMPP guidelplates are a good idea but not really a requirement when using SA rockers that come with the kit. Good extra insurance.

 

RTV'ing the oil pan gasket where it rips (I cut them now) is 100% ok to do as well. If done right it won't leak and you don't have to worry about new leaks forming if it's not leaking out the back already.

 

took me 26hrs for my first time...

 

how much for cam swap and spring change and 1.6 rockers and new lifters as well as new timeingchain and all new seals out the door.....

 

It varies for pretty much every shop.. who are you asking? Where are you located?

 

close to speedworld and yea how much

Gotcha, $700 for all you mentioned, "all seals replaced" being all items related to the cam swap, including timing cover seals, intake gasket, etc.

You provide all parts/gaskets We're about 2 hours away and we'd need the car for the weekend, starting with Saturday morning, preferably Friday night to cool down.

 

cool .sounds good.Will be getting this done very soon will let you know so we can set up a date for it to be done thanks..

 

Sounds good dude.. hotcam kit?

I should have my car/project out of the garage this weekend or next, so should be good to go after that.

 

Done, or just out of the garage???

 

hot cam kit. yea daily driver car.Thanks talk to u soon.

 

Done is the plan.

All I have to do is finish up setting the height on the oil pickup, install my accessories, install lifters/spider/oil pump drive, intake manifold, wiring harness...

Mate it to the tranny, dump it on the crossmember and up she goes. Should be a busy weekend

lt1srule -> cool man thanks, you know where to find me!

 

I thought I had a full weekend, but all I'm doing is; headers, exhaust, 1.6 rockers and springs, plus a tune up while everything is out anyway...

 

With the hotcam kit you can use your stock valve covers just fine without a need to clearance them so I would just save the $$ there. The one major stall on my install was taking the hub off. Make sure you search this forum because you will need a certain kind of puller and a grade 8 bolt to do it easily. Also, as mentioned, if you are careful when taking the timing cover off you can repair any small rips in your oil pan seal with some RTV. Good luck!
