I as well noticed you trashed the tensioner and replaced with a dampner; good decision. That is what LPE and ADM do during their installs even though more labor to get to the oil pan pickup tube etc. Some shops do not do this.
Question, the phase limiter from comp cams; I have read where factory GM cams can move the cam 52 degrees total. What does the comp cams limiter reduce cam travel to in total? Maybe somewhere from 25 to 35 degrees depending on mild or greater cam specs.
Keep it coming. Your blower install is not too far away. Woo Hoo.  |
Thanks and yes, I did what was the 'right' thing to do -- no sense skimping. The L99 oil pump was not needed to change based on many inputs. Those are higher volume since VVT has that need.
The phase limiter I believe is 21 or 22 degrees -- Specifically for VVT when going to a bigger cam.
Yes, taking pictures and documenting the steps do take time, but I do want to share my experience so others may learn and feel they can do it.
Will be doing the oil pan tonight and then the DOD delete. After that, looks like the new heads will be going on this weekend!
