    Phaser bolt install issue getting to 90°

    I have the phaser on correctly with the cam pin into the back of the phaser. When I tighten the phaser bolt down, it went to 48 ft lb very easy. It actually didn’t even turn an 1/8 of a rotation before the wrench gave way at 48 lb. and that was after tightening it down without the crank holder...

    Reuse injectors without changing o-rings?

    Thanks for the replies. I’ll go ahead and replace them. They just fit very tight, so I thought it might be ok. I did watch a few videos and it does look like the new o-rings, when assembled, do stick out farther than my used ones. Man those holes are so gunked up. The can see where guys might...

    Reuse injectors without changing o-rings?

    Is it a bad idea to reinstall the injectors without changing the o-rings? I have heads off and have cleaned the injector ports very well. As well as cleaned the injectors. I put them in and they fit tight. Just wondering if anyone has ever done it before and if it works, or do they not seal...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    update on progress I got the work started and ordered most parts from Chevy. Misfire on cylinder number three. Third lifter back. Had minimal scarring on the roller. A non-DOD lifter for the exhaust. The cam lobe was scarred fairly decent. Vehicle has 140,000 miles. I got the oil up to temp...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    I am going to be ordering the parts as soon as I figure out everything I need. I will bring doing the work in my garage for the next month. I just need to write down all the parts I need and order them from the factory. I will be putting it back together to factory specs. I don’t really want to...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Sorry I’m not an engine specialist so I’m not savvy on the terminology. I’m assuming the heads , house the valves and everything else to complete this work and I can just have them done at a ship. Then put them back in after I do the cam? If so I assume that would add a considerable expense. I...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Would I need new or rebuild the heads to do this work? I can’t just replace the cam, the valves and whatever else? Will the head have damage or something?

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Thank you very much for the reply and advice. I am just now getting around to doing this work. The whole C.A.R.B legal thing is something that I’m unfamiliar with. I will need to find out more information before I make a decision on that. Seems like it would be more complicated than just getting...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Yea I feel like they would do that for sure. The owner of the dealership is actually my cousins husband. He said it sounds just like the lifter tick. But you are right. Might just need lifters and whatnot but we have driven it like this for 1000 plus miles so not it be cam as well. I’m going to...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    I’m going to assume there is cam damage. First the transmission went out. So we paid 5000 for GM to put a new one in. Didn’t have the money to fix it right away so my wife has been driving it 15 miles a day just to work and back. I would say it’s been driven 1000 miles with the tick and the idle...

    I was going to keep it all stock. Wouldn’t that be keeping the lifters AFM? Sorry I don’t know anything about this as of yet. I’m trying to keep my questions to a minimum until I know more and can ask just what I need to know.

    5.3 DoD Delete Stock Replacement Cam -- What's the Verdict

    did you ever figure out what cam you wanted? I am going through the same deal right now. Mine is a 2017 Tahoe. Still trying to find out what engine I have. Hahaha. I was just going to put exactly what came out and keep it stock. Run good motor oil and hope for the best. I didn’t know there was...

    Thank you. I think that’s I am going to do. I definitely would buy OEM parts.

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    I like this. I want to go with all original parts. Mostly because I don’t want to do all the research for aftermarket part numbers. I also don’t want to have to worry about smog. But I’m still worried about it running for another 250 K with the CARB certified tune. I thought I had read that...

    Thank you. I am going to dive into it soon. Hopefully it hasn’t gotten worse. I need to source all the parts now. I am still trying to figure out what engine I have.

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    I called the GM technician. They said when you do a delete the changes in the computer that are needed will be detected by California smog stations at time of smog and be an instant fail. Great. Last Chevy I buy that’s newer than a 73. These companies are so big they can put out a new design...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Nice. Love it. Thank you. I’m definitely leaning towards rebuilding. With or without the delete. I just need to research if it will pass smog in Cali if I delete. Sure I will find it in the Delete threads.

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Awesome. Yea I would do springs retainers and push rods as well. Seems like they would be the easiest thing to go out on you and easily replaced. Did you say around how much you spent on whole thing? Sorry. I can’t go back and look in this screen.

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Thank you. I appreciate the reply. I have not yet come to a decision on a swap or repair. If I do a swap and buy a GM motor but to have the warranty it obviously has to be done by ASE certified so at that point I really don’t care to much who does it because it will have a warranty. Since I’m...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Hey Trey, the work you said you did, is that considered a AFM delete as well? Or is it keeping it as a AFM but stronger parts making it last longer. Sorry if that doesn’t make sense. I’m still reading through all the threads to piece it all together. I should have it all retained and deciphered...

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    Thank you for the advice. Yea I feel now that replacing an engine would be more work for sure and more money. I also wouldn’t need a shop with the hoist. I could do in my garage.

    2017 Tahoe engine swap, advice appreciated

    One of the comments on the YouTube video I mentioned said this. I’m assuming this is what you are taking about when you say delete the AFM. I did read the thread from the link you sent. Thank you for that by the way. I did read something about when you do a delete that you might have smog...
