After tearing stuff apart on my car the last 2 days, I notcie that my car does not have parts 577-581. All I have is a small plug in the front below my TB.

Hey Sean. Do you have a filter breather on your valve cover in place of the pcv?

Did you finally get those springs compressed?

 

Nope, no filter. I assume you mean the elbow on the pasenger side? I have been meaning to but just forget/lazyness.

Nope, couldn't get the springs done. The tools I got from Vato Zone and Chevkers both were hoirrible. I need to try the Moroso or Snap-On one. I heard both are really good. Probally better, since they would have more than likely killed my stock lifters down the road. I will just wait untill I get some Comp R lifters or at least some new OEM ones.

 

I used the Checker tool for my LS1 dual coil beehives and it worked perfectly. I have use all variants of spring compressor tools and have never not been able to get the spring compressed. What problem are you having with the compressor? You really have to turn the **** out of the compressor to compress the springs all the way.

 

You're using the wrong diagram. That one is for 1995+ vehicles. Our 1994's are different.

 

There are two different LT1 PCV routes. The later version looks like the one in the illustration. Earlier models had the PCV hose make a quick 180 degree turn back into the intake right next to the PCV valve (PCV hose was just a small "U").

 

Because yours is a 1994-not the 95-97 in the diagram.

 

Well I just found out that I might have been given the wrong part number by the seller for the retainers, which would be why I couln't get the locks in. We shall know soon.


Derrrrr, sorry, didn't even notcie I was looking in the wrong manual.

 

Checker and Auto Zone might work on stock springs but they wouldn't on my other springs.

Sean, I got one from NAPA that works pretty well

 

Well, I think I may wait untill I get new lifters and also make sure I have the right retainers. I will let you know Tom. Thanks.

I've used Checker/autozone compressors on 4 or 5 different springs...strange.

Sean, probably have 10* retainers and 7* locks or vice versa.

 

That is what I am thinking. I have 10* locks (Comp 614) and they just wouldn't work. We shall know soon.
