    Ly6 6.0

    I not against aftermarket cams I'm also looking into them just haven't found one I like alot yet. Basically the ly6 with 243 heads should be similar to a ls2. 6.0 with 243 heads so I have been looking for cams and dyno results for ls2 that's giving me somewhat better results. On the ls9 cam in...

    Ly6 6.0

    I didn't know that everything I've read so far about deleting vvt said to change cam. That's interesting

    Ly6 6.0

    I haven't found any that criss cross yet. And yeah I wish it had dyno results and better pictures.

    Adjustable rear control arms.

    What kind of grease did you use and how much? This is the instructions that came with my panhard #9 says the poly bushings need special grease or they will fail. it says that and also not to grease the delrin ends at all on the control arms instructions too.

    Ly6 6.0

    From what I've seen they give up more on the low end with 5.3s but give up very little on 6.0 or 6.2s idk if that is due to better head flow or larger displacement or both so idk what it would do with the 6.0 with 243 heads. How do you delete vvt if using a vvt cam like the l9h

    Ly6 6.0

    How would the l9h cam work if I delete vvt? Everything I've read says Ls7 and ls9 cams are identical except the ls7 cam is about 2 degrees narrower lobe separation angle. And it's hard to find lobe shape and ramp rate info on most aftermarket cams sometimes some people will share cam doctor...

    Ly6 6.0

    I have driven trucks with stock ly6 engines I wasn't impressed with there power output slightly better than my 5.3 but still felt gutless compared to my dodges with the hemi I want something that's got similar torque as them or the old 454s...

    Ly6 6.0

    I do plan on deleting vvt. The adjustability is to advance cam timing so I can bring power lower into the rpm range. It's not something that gets adjusted often just during cam install then leave it. The cathedral ports and smaller chambers are why I want the 243 heads if I change to the lc9...

    Ly6 6.0

    https://www.compcams.com/keyway-adjustable-billet-timing-set-for-58x-3-bolt-4-pole-gm-ls3.html That's the timing set I was thinking of it's actually adjustable up to 8 degrees advance or retard. The concern with that is piston to valve clearance. Still trying to figure that out. If I do go with...

    Ly6 6.0

    A custom ground cam would be pretty expensive that's why I was looking at ls9/ls7 cams can get them relatively cheap. Who is Vinci? Any other stock cams that might work without vvt? I have seen few things about ly6 engines with 243 cathedral port heads but haven't been able to find anything...

    Ly6 6.0

    Would it still rob it down low if I advance cam timing 2 or 4 degrees? (Would I have enough piston/valve clearance for that?) Doesn't the l9h have vvt like the ly6? And do you know the l9h cam specs?

    Ly6 6.0

    Few weeks ago I messaged a guy local parting out a gmc 2500. At that time he told me he wrote add wrong and motor wasn't for sale. Since them I have had the timing chain tensioner in my 5.3 give out and send metal through the engine seems fine but who knows tbh it kinda scares me that there...

    Rc silverado front lift and skyjacker rear lift coils

    The spohn control arms and panhard bar finally got here today. One thing I got to say is they did an excessive job packaging and wrapping them. Took over 30 minutes to cut it all off. Which is a good thing most things I've ordered lately were barely wrapped and protected. The skyjacker c50r...

    Metal in oil

    Thank you. glad I cought it before it killed the motor praying didn't do much long term damage to any bearings or anything. Is anything else other than crank sensor magnetic inside the engine?

    Metal in oil

    What would be best way to clean crank sensor? And do you think cow magnets are strong enough I have some of them. I might have a old computer somewhere I will have to look. I will grab some cheap walmart oil and some fram oil filters when I go to town to visit my dad.

    Metal in oil

    Metal in oil

    Thanks I think around 175 thousand miles maybe not sure the information square in the tach never lights up and gear indicator in speedo is very dim used to be able to smack dash and get them to light up but that don't even do it anymore. I gotta figure that out and fix it been a low priority...

    Metal in oil

    Just got front cover off found the problem timing chain tensioner came apart. And the mangled piece in second picture was between oil pump and crank sprocket grinding on sprocket. So aslong as the metal in the oil didn't damage any bearings or anything it should hopefully be alright? Still gotta...

  25. 87carl

    Metal in oil

    When I get pan and front cover off tomorrow is there anywhere specific I should look for sources of the metal? What could lose that much metal without making noises or causing problems?
