so my order from Camshaft Innovations came today, check the pics out and check my sig for what everything is

i'm just waiting on the lifters and the TFS Track Heat intake manifold, and a full gasket set and I'm good to go (a week off from work to do the swap would be nice too, but you can't always get what you want :mad:

)

I like.

btw: Stand your heads up on end, they're more prone to warping sitting the way they are in the pics.

thanks for the tip! will do

also, is there a comprehensive list of tools and parts needed for the swap? i.e. cam lube, RTV sealer and what colors, anti-seize, etc., i'd like a complete checklist to take to the 'zone when i start the swap

i'm good on parts, i just know so many little tiny things will have me running back and forth to auto parts stores, i'd appreciate experienced guys saving me some headaches

or maybe you guys want to make me learn the hard way haha

I use ultra black for my gasket sealer, and I used anti seeze on anything bolting to the heads

LiquidGT · Apr 28, 2008

I used the grey sealant, you need thread sealant for the front head bolts (exhaust side) because they go into a water jacket, I used assembly lube on my cam and timing chain. Like 30240 said, I would use anti seeze on anything bolting to those aluminum heads, but not on the headbolts.

oh i'll do it myself, just gotta buy or rent some tools, that's all

MikeROD16 · Apr 29, 2008

oh yeah. thats what im talking about. some quality bonding with your car. you should just buy the tools for future use. You know, just in case

. always comes in handy. but yeah, thats gonna be a nice job, me and my brother and a friend and his dad did all that work including exhaust on his '71. what a way to spend a spring break!!! Youre in for quite a job. It'll be fun doing it with a couple of friends.

just thought you guys would enjoy some pics

Engine coming out
