At last it has came to this....Cam Install
 

So here we are on a Friday, getting ready to conduct a cam install. I am excited and nervous all at the same time. I have read just about everything there was to read on camaro5. My hats off to robertway for his incredible DIY, IF it wasnt for that and a bunch of other members on here giving me some pointers and direction, then I would of had to shell out 2k for the install/tune. So, like my suspension install thread, I will make an attempt to update everyone every so often. My parts include all of the following:
LS3 545 Cam
Melling Oil Pump 10295
Katech C5r timing chain
Brian Tooley platinum spring kit (titanium retainers, dual polished springs, spring locators, locks and seals)
Comp Cam Trunion upgrade
Comp Cam Pushrod 7.400
Arp Balancer Bolt
Arp Camshaft Bolts
Front timing cover seal
Water pump gaskets
Oil Pump ring
3 Bolt Cam plate (with notch in the half moon)

I have attached a short video of what it sounds like now, this is with the Kooks LT stepped headers, CAI, and Corsa exhaust. It has never been tuned yet either.






Also, I have added a few pictures for your viewing pleasure (I know how you guys and gals love pictures).

Good luck!!!!!

Git 'er done!

Remember to use some red loctite on the cam sprockets, cam retainer and cam bolts. Arp makes some good cam bolts for 25 bux. A lil red loctite on the crank bolt too.

Nice!! I wish I could do it myself

Thanks litle, I have the loctite and those arp cam bolts. Now just need to wait till the car cools down a bit before we start.

Good luck man.

Good luck I'll subscribe if you need any help. Take your time and take picks and put the bolts back on the parts you take off lol.

Clean bench .... and utilize your phone to take a before pic in case you feel as though you may forget how something goes back together... Ill be around all weekend as well...

yea, I have my SLR with me, right now its up on stands.....

I can't wait to hear your video after the install and tune, you will be one happy camper !

Hitting the tuner at 11am on Monday.

Subscribed. Hey man, I'm actually leaving TN tomorrow morning and heading to the Ft. Lee area for school for two months. I'm from Virginia Beach, and I will be getting my cam and heads done in November, so I will definitely look out for you in the 757! BTW, our setups are almost identical, minus the heads! good luck with your install!

Looks ready to go good luck!!sub'd!
