I have a write up, I believe it'* called spring build comes early. In it I did a in the car cam change.

Here we are. https://www.gmforum.com/showthread.p...t=spring+build

thanks. well today i finally had all day to work on it. i got the cam in and the cradle bolted back up. i found the old cam had two very worn lobs. and the oil pump has wron groves in its housing and in the cover, i have a low mile one from a series 3. they seem exactly the same, i will be changing out the whole cover.

thanks

Hope it fixes everything up.

well today i got all the gasket surfaces cleaned and ready to go and got lifters and pushrods in. i have a question tho, do you need to use thread lock on the rocker bolts ? and what do you tourqe the rocker bolts too ?

thanks

No thread lock, and 23 foot pounds

okay thanks. oh and is there any spefic side the little hole on the lifter should be faceing ?

thanks

Are these HS roller rockers? And I assume your talking about the pedistal. If so, the dot MUST be facing the spring.

no. the little hole in the lifter, witch way should they be faceing, TB side or water pump side ? im useing stock rockers.

thanks

I just checked the service manual and I find no mention of putting the rockers in this way or that way. But going over it in my head you should have one bank facing one way and the other bank facing the other way. All rockers should be the same. So there should be no difference.
