Best of fortune with the installation. Keep us posted on the progress.

1 cam chosen... (now a build/help thread)

I've narrowed down my cam options from recommendations from what I (and most of you) consider reputable sources. My options are: BTR stage 2 LS3 cam 225/238 .620"/.605" 113+3 p/n 32538133R1 Or PatG spec'd 225/232 .629"/.615" 112+3 The cams are clearly different but my question is what does...

Indeed. Those are Moog stabilizer bar end-links albeit prefer the previous ball joint rubber boots design as they seem to be more durable.

...When I pulled the radiator, I noticed my air conditioner belt had come off. I have no idea how or when that happened. Air was certainly working last month...

AC belt jumping off

I have an 09 GXP that the AC belt keeps jumping off. I tried the shorter Stretch belt but there is no way it will fit, so it looks like I need the new bracket. Is this kit the one that is recommended. and how big of a job is it to put in...

Plan on cleaning or replacing the air filter?

Fuel Injectors..As far as I know, mine are working fine. Should they be replaced?

May have already mentioned in the thread but current mileage?

 

[PONY MAN]

What's is the advantage(s) of the Aeroflow power steering reservoir?

 

[PONY MAN]

Replacing the fuel injectors is a judgement call. Presume the engine bay will be detailed upon completion of the project.

My DOD/AFM delete with LS3 cam - any questions?

I'll be doing a "budget" DOD delete with a LS3 cam/springs this weekend. While a cam swap is not a novel thing, I figured I'd toss this thread up to give anyone an opportunity to ask questions or make a request for pictures or whatever as I'm tearing into the engine. The best thread I've found...

ATI balancer

Does anyone know the parts number for the ATI balancer for a G8 GT? Mine is horrible and need to replace it, but there are different diameters, etc on Summit Racing and don't know which would be closest to stock dimensions. Thanks.

Stock Damper to ATI Super Damper Install

I was getting some bad vibrations in neutral when revving so after some searching on here I decided that it was the stock damper causing problems. I ended up going with the stock sized ATI just because I didn't think the extra 10hp was worth taxing the accessories. But to each his own. The...

Harmonic Balancer Choice?

I am going to replace my harmonic balancer, it has a bad wobble. I do not want to go to under pulley type. So is a PowerBond the way to go, or is the ac delco better? Is there any better options. I have stock cam. Will be installing Kooks Headers soon and a good tune.

...In the 90's, Tanya attacked another Winter Olympics skater, trying to knock her out of competition. Big Scandal..I think she kicked her in the knee. Don't remember exact details.

Tonya Harding didn't attack Nancy Kerrigan*. Instead, her ex-husband hired someone to whack Nancy in at least one knee. Remembered when it happened.

Which Internet browser are you using? Reason being, can adjust the settings to automatically clear the cache, delete browsing history, etc. once the browser is closed.

 

[PONY MAN]

It's the browser's setting versus an update or version. Will elaborate further later.

 

[PONY MAN]

I cleared my browser. Restarted my laptop and now I can get in...

Microsoft Edge Version 95.0.1020.30 (Official build) (64-bit)...

Try adjusting the settings in Microsoft Edge to automatically clear the cache whenever the browser is closed. Click the three raised dots in the upper right corner. Settings (lower). Privacy, search, and services. Clear browsing data. Choose what to clear every time you close the browser. Select cached images and files. Select cookies and other site data. Personally, have all selected along with a slew of other settings in three separate web browsers. Be sure to bookmark any pages you want to keep or reload whenever the browser is reopened.

Bolts..Is there a chart out there that shows the engine bolts, if you will? For instance, new alternator bolts, water pump, etc...

Part numbers, sizes, location?

The harmonic balancer bolt...ARP 234-2503 - ARP Balancer BoltsIt states it is a 12 point head. Do I need a special socket for this? I have 6 point impact sockets, not sure I have a 12.

In this instance, would use a twelve point socket although prefer six point sockets.

 

[PONY MAN]

Thread Chaser. I bought a ARP 912-0011 Thread Cleaning Tap LS1 M11 x 2.0. I get it 1/4" to 1/2" and it starts to bind. Is this the right one? I haven't forced it..

ARP thread chasers Part numbers 912-0011 and 912-0001.

 

[PONY MAN]

...Oh, do I use the washers with the head bolt kit? I assume so since they were included in the kit?...

Correct. It may be easier to locate (if available) a pdf file of the instructions. Download. Resize and print it.

Is the Ac Delco brand fuel injector uavailable?

 

[PONY MAN]

Yes, if AcDelco genuine GM equipment. No, if AcDelco professional gold whose quality can sometimes be hit-n-miss. Honestly, I'd merely replace both o-rings and call it a day.

 

[PONY MAN]

Can't really see the broken portion between the phone and glare. Is it where the connector attaches?

 

[PONY MAN]

Am still unable to clearly see the broken portion but to err on the side of caution suggest replacing the injector. If purchasing through Rock Auto, be sure to Google the 5% off discount code. Copy and paste it in the how did you hear about us section. Wal-Mart of all places appears to have the fuel injector in stock as well.
