Ok... so... my edelbrock supercharger is toast... I ran methanol injection thru it and ruined it... I can't afford to have it rebuilt
right now, plus lead time is 12 -14 weeks on rebuild... I need to be able to tow very very soon... couple of weeks.
I am putting back on OEM intake manifold and deleting the AFM/DOD totally
So, I have removed heads, cam, dod lifters etc...
Picking up heads from machine shop tomorrow with new PAC 16915 springs installed.. New seals, etc
My cam is a VVT Gwatney performance 212/222 .553 lift ... I have already done the VVT cam phaser mod to
limit the VVT degrees.. (although not sure I need it with this tiny cam)
ANY How... I really don't want to drop the front diff, rack, etc to get the oil pan off...
I have Zero oil leaks and my oil pressure is totally within specs hot/cold etc
BUT, I am paranoid of the timing chain tensioner... I do have on hand the LS2 "bowtie" tensioner, timing chain, new oil pump, pick up, all the parts....
I don't even know IF i could get the timing chain "right" without removing the oil pump, chain etc.
What would you guys think ??????
2014 Denali 117K... I've owned it since 97K - 3 years... Had maint records when I bought it. And I'm OCD on maint and really
everything !!!
BTW: did the CHE trunnion upgrade - easier than I thought... Will be putting that in with new cam, cammotion lifters, gm lifter trays,
So, main mods will be the upgraded VVT cam, 1 7/8 kooks headers w. exhaust..
This is a tow vehicle,,, I just wanted more when I bought it for towing... Thought SC would be the easiest
