    Front Crank Seal Popping Out After AFM Delete

    I will say, I watched a bunch of videos on removing and installing that seal, and a lot of people had to pry them out and use a hammer to get them back in. I did not have to do either. Came out and went in easy as butter

    For the seal, or the harmonic balancer? But to answer the question, no

    Front Crank Seal Popping Out After AFM Delete

    Hey guys. Did an AFM and VVT delete on my 2013 6.2 V8. Replaced the cam, timing cover, and oil pump, as well. Immediately had an oil leak out of the crank seal, and figured out that the new seal was sliding out. Not completely, but certainly not even close to flush. Thought something was wrong...

    Is This Camshaft Reusable? Or Too Pitted?

    Here is the link to the cam I have. https://www.lsxceleration.com/lsxceleration-stage-1-nsr-truck-cam-206-212-515-522-hr110/ Further investigation follow up: It doesn't really feel like a miss. My neighbor (a retired airplane mechanic) thinks it sounds like a vacuum leak. Every video I've...

    If there are, they're subtle. Like nothing to the point that it feels like it's gonna die. It will rev up a little at times, and it sometimes "catches" when I first accelerate. But it's mostly just a very uncomfortable idle.

    Okay, so at this point, I have no engine codes. At least no pending ones. I have stored ones. The truck drives fine. However, it does not idle fine. Pretty rough idling still. But no codes. Any idea where to look here?

    My new timing cover did not come with a harness. It was just the cover. I had to transfer over the harness and the harness bracket (which I modified) to make it work.

    I did. Loosened everything up, pipes included, and I'm going to replace the gaskets in there. Hoping that re-torqueing the manifold after it's been hot helps out that seal...?

    On the non-VVT cam and timing cover, there is nowhere for that plug to go. Not even a dummy plug. So currently it's just tied up with the rest of the harness.

    It's been raining here so I haven't been able to try the brake cleaner test. That's one I hadn't heard of. As far as the cam, yes it's an aftermarket cam, and I replaced the timing cover to go with it, which doesn't have a spot for the VVT to plug into. So that plug is just tied up there, not...

    Definitely torqued the manifold that way. It's even a multiple pass one, starting with 11 ft/lbs and 18 ft/lbs on the second pass. At least that's what my printout says. And the pipe nuts at the flange were 26 ft/lbs. Scan tool has shown a P219B and P0010. Double checked the 02 sensor on the...

    Exhaust leaks... So I found exhaust leaks at both flanges and at holes 5 and 7 on the manifold. I am very positive that I torqued these to proper specs. Is there an order you're supposed to tighten these (not on the manifold itself), but between the flanges and the manifold. Like, does...

    No it's definitely been tuned to turn off AFM. My guy with the EFI Live tuner did not see any place where VVT is mentioned. He did say he thinks they call it camphasing, which he did disable. That's where we got with the tuning.

    Is This Camshaft Reusable? Or Too Pitted?

    Well, here we are... reassembled. A few things: 1. It's idling like total dogcrap. Is there something in the tuning that turns off the VVT, or does that happen when you change the timing cover that's non-VVT and tune it to delete the AFM? Throwing a P0010 code. There was no place for the plug to...

    Okay non-AFM valley covers... When I bought my kit, I didn't really understand what all I was buying, and now in hindsight, I see that the shop I bought from was out of stock on the covers. All I'm finding in stock are weird Amazon stores or verrry expensive stores. Anyone have a recommendation...
