    For those who have done AFM delete/cam swaps

    Ok so a VVT delete kits, all it is, is the 3 bolt cam gear and a LS3 timing cover.....I already have the non VVT 3 pin connector that came with the truck factory. Do I need a whole kit or can I just change the cam gear and keep the same timing cover? I've been thinking about this alot and unless...

    L92 oil pump removal with engine in truck

    Is there any need to raise the truck or can I do this with the truck on the ground? Also what do you mean the front and rear covers? Like the edges of the pan where it meets the block?

    L92 oil pump removal with engine in truck

    Ok I've searched videos and Google and I can't find the proper way to remove the oil pump in my 08 Yukon Denali. It's AWD and has the L92 I have the timing cover off and the bolts out of the pump but it won't come forward off the crank. I've read that some drop the oil pan but with the AWD how...

    For those who have done AFM delete/cam swaps

    Hey, not trying to steal your thunder but I noticed you are installing a cam on the somewhat same engine as mine. You are installing a vvt cam right, mine is the l92 non vvt....I know this because of the shape of my valley cover and because my cam phaser is a 3 pin and not the active afm 5 pin...

    Broken Intake Valve from Valve Float 6.2L L92?

    It should be a 3 bolt, mine is nonvvt so i dont have to worry about a delete. I hadnt though about a tensioner.....do they go bad or what are the benefits? That is a question i also have. I can install all the parts but will it cranck and be drivalbe enough ti get to a tuner?

    Broken Intake Valve from Valve Float 6.2L L92?

    Im not looking for power i just to liven up the truck. I got the truck cam because i do want a choppy sound but nothing that needs a higher stall. Its a dad-mobile pretty much so just want it to have that "cool" factor but definitely i think it might need a tune after a cam

    Broken Intake Valve from Valve Float 6.2L L92?

    I live in North East Mississippi. Yes that is correct. The piston looks fine it doesnt look steam cleaned to say it was a headgasket and it doent have any chips or dents in the face of the piston to indicate that the valve hit. No i have not sent the heads out since i want to minimize my...

    Broken Intake Valve from Valve Float 6.2L L92?

    Broken Intake Valve from Valve Float 6.2L L92?

    I swapped banks on the coils and i did a compression test before i removed the heads and the psi on the BAD cylinder was 90psi. Now im guessing it was because the valve wasnt closed....ill check on the guides but the valves were held pretty good i had to push on then a bit to get them out but...

    Broken Intake Valve from Valve Float 6.2L L92?

    Actually it was the only valve that looked like that the others looked normal. Even the intake on the same cylinder looked good no build-up here is a picture of the intake valve from the same cylinder.

    The exhaust valve was caked. What could have caused this? Also could this have caused my missfire and smoke??

    Broken Intake Valve from Valve Float 6.2L L92?

    So i pulled the heads. Everythi g looks good except for the obvious culprit cylinder 8. The valve was coated.....no it was CAKED in carbon build up. So im guessing it was not sealing properly. So what are my options now? What could have caused that? So that i may replace it and get my truck back...

    Broken Intake Valve from Valve Float 6.2L L92?
