Get da water!!!!

Need body work done, I AM KEEPING IT BLACK, be NO OTHER COLOR for the truck.
I did buy a gun from harbor freight. I was going to use it to paint my DD and the motor. Ended up rattle canning both.

Came out bitching

My motor is only 4 coats deep have another 4 to go. Sad part is might have re-do the front timing cover b/c of my cam choice. I need to more research and less developing

The pic of it painted is after the first light coat.

took me about 4-5 hours to clean and strip the motor. Having it also fall didn't help either

Finally Found my L92 Intake...
Ordered a LS9 Cam, Sprocket, and timing cover
Also ordered a pushrod length checker. I'll post parts numbers and pics later...Once the push rod check is here then I can order the correct push rods and then finally start assembling the motor!

Next is transmission which is getting a Trans-go HD2 Shift kit, new pan and filter. Painting it purple...it is time to swap!

Well look who came out of the wood work. My build has been put on hold b/c I to sell a POS to buy a POS ; ) Wait and few days finding the POS to buy with a few trips to Queens! Need to update your signature papi!

Yes my drive train has been sold it is just an empty bay.

Really, I ordered my LS9 Cam, Sprocket, Bolts, & LS2 Timing Cover on April 4th from GMPartsdirect.com on April 4th. Still have not received it b/c they are awaiting on a bolt to complete my order. I have had great success with them over the years but this is the first time I did not receive an order from them with in 7 business of ordering.

I really don't know how to go about this thread...think once the motor is assembled I will post pics of it. Then the break down with parts are inside as well as part numbers. Why I went with those parts. Sound good?

Taken from Lingenfelter's Website:

The LS9 camshaft is a 3 bolt design and will use the Lingenfelter 3 bolt cam conversion kit if you are installing it in a single bolt application like the 2007 – 2010 LS2 or LS3. If you are installing it in an earlier LS1 or LS6 engine with the cam sensor at the back of the engine you will need a 2005 LS2 front cover, 2005 1x cam sprocket, camshaft extension harness, 2005 LS2 chain dampner.


You won't need the chain dampener because your block wont have the bolt holes for it and you can just extend the cam sensor harness yourself easily.

GmPartsDirect Pricing and Part numbers:

LS9 Cam - 12638427 - $97.93
LS2 Timing Cover Kit (includes cover, sensor, bolts, gaskets, etc) - PK12600325 - $123.60
LS2 3 bolt 4x cam sprocket - 12586481 - $14.62
Shipping: (expensive) $60.22
Total: $296.37

For $400 you can get a custom cam spec'd to your setup. I think there is a guy on PT.net (patrick G something) that specs cam for $25. A lot of people use him and then send the specs to anyone of the many sponsors that do custom cams.

I got problems...I ordered the complete kit

I got the CAM sensor Part number 12596851
The cam sensor feels loose when I put in into the front of the timing cover(shouldnt it be a snug with out tightening it down?). I went over to GM dealership with the VIN from 2011 ZR1 with and LS9 for a cam sensor (part number 1259685) they looked completely different. Once I bought it $68 it was mine to keep not even return for store credit) so I held off. The kit. SO I NEED THE CORRECT part number for the CAM sensor that will work with the kit. I will attempt to contact GMPARTSdirect.com (only thru e-mail) about my situation. ANY help would be awesome!

ALSO have a CAMSHAFT POSITION SENSOR part# 10485432 that just does not work at all. What is the correct one?

Just pissed money out the door. I ordered a decent amount of parts at one time kinda of lost track.

One more rant TSP "DELUXE Engine Gasket Kit" DOES NOT INCLUDE: Oil Pan Gakset, Rear Main Seal (GM Part Number 12633578), & Rear Main seal Gasket (GM Part Number 89060436). If your building an engine shouldn't this be mandatory?

Pics none the less...

Progress...none the less...Oil Pan Gasket is one, ls9 cam is in, timing chain, sprocket in, oil pump, rear main seal, and gasket...cleaned the oil pan and tube out.





I tried questioning the parts guy at GM who was really helpful gave me GMS (special silicone for the oil pan for free). Honestly at the point where I just want it done. He says not something he is to familiar about.

 

[foreverfalcon40]

Got all the new sensors in...did soem more work on the motor!

Got the new sprocket in as well as the correct cam position sensor...Also installed the new off set rockers b/c I went witht he L92 heads...TSP 7.4 Hardened pushrods put the crank pulley back on. New Knock Sensors, Harness and gaskets are in as well.

I was going to bolt in the new valve cover gaksets BUT the driver's side went in fine but the driver's does not fit with the off set rockers...need to order new valve covers and gaskets for the L92 heads.

All I need as of right now...

L92 Valve Covers and Gaksets
NEW Coolant Bypass (X looking metal pipe that hooks up to each corner of the head) even though these are L92 Heads...my Coolant Bypass from 00 will work!

Not sure if I am going to send out the intake and TB to be ported...my budget (which is long gone) is started to dry up...

 

[AtomicHoe094]

why not just buy a valve cover spacer for the one side? itll save a few bucks
