anybody in the greater PHX area have any valvetrain stuff/gaskets they would like to sell?

looking for comp 918 springs and hardened pushrods/gaskets

 

preferrably new BTW...

 

EDIT: BlackZ, too lazy and drukn to log out right now.

I have used 918 for sale, about 3k miles on them, sitting on my floor. Throw out a price and I will sell them, they are like new, one day of T&T at Bandimere and they worked good.

Plus, I can help and od any of that install you are talking about. Gimme a shout Greggy.

 

booth, when did you buy these said 918's? do they have a blue stripe or no? suposedly the ones without the blue stripes had issues if i'm correct... or maybe it was the ones with the stripes... ill find out.

 

it was the "non blue striped" 918's that had an issue with breaking a few years back...

 

Greg, I have the blue striped 918's I bought about a year back. They are not the famed springs you talk of.

Let me know.

 

hmmm... if you can get those adapters to work, how about an even trade

 

Mmm, interesting thought, But I am not so hot on rolling and cutting my quarters to make these wheels work anymore. I am fine where there at, as sad as that is, but hey, it's only a Corvette wheel . If you want them back I can for sure get them back to you whenever you say so.

The springs need to go for cold, hard cash. We can work something out, I'm sure.

 

thats cool... i'll see if i cant sell the spacers on ebay or something

shoot me a PM with what your looking at getting for the springs, i have no idea what they would go for.

 

also, should i get a ls2 timing chain and ported ls6 oil pump? or is that not needed with a medium sized cam?

 

Do the LS2 chain for peace of mind. I wouldn't touch your Oil pump, the "LS6" pump is no differnet than a LS1pump, all they do is port it, which is, contrary to belief, not a benefit. All it does is decrease your oil pressure and increase flow, which doesen't help at the higher RPM's the cam will spin. No pressure = No more bearings.

 

That, and Oil pumps are a pain in the dick to change out. Especially wihtout a lift.

 

that makes sense... i dont think i'd need it much anyways with a 228/232, unlike chris' fatass ms3

i'll talk to my GM parts guy and get a ls2 chain for the hell of it.


so heres my list:

cam - on its way
918 springs - booth
hardened pushrods
ls2 timing chain
gaskets

 

Sounds like a fun weekend to me. Should be all you need for a basic swap. That's all I did for my first camswap, and it worked better than my second headswap by far.

 

Welcome to the cammd club. Now all you need is a blue bottle on top of that. Will make sure OMR stays in the rear view mirror.

Chris

 

dont worry... bottle will come in time.

this cam should be good for a little nitrous, its got a nice split...

 

so the cam guru in the internals section suggests i get the ls2 chain, and ls6 oil pump but not ported... because i have a 98 and i guess 98's suck at everything.

 

my ls6 pump does give more psi at wot than the stock greg,

 

you should probably look into an LS6 intake too...And maybe some sort of gasketry

 

gasketry covered. ls6 intake is the next mod.
