There are videos out there to help you, in school we watched degreeing and reading a cam.

Last time I was looking at this i thought you could buy the cover already machined for like just a bit extra cash? Not only that don't be a baby I don't see why people are scared of dbl rollers.

If you dont correct that, then buh bye timing chain.

and yes, you can buy machined oil pump covers.

I never knew they were made for the aussie 3.8 :/ That seems kind of dumb to me, but I know locals who are still running them not for very long yet (about 2k or so) and haven't run into a problem yet maybe I will inform them.

As long as the gear is machined down to be the same height as the stocker sitting next to it...then it'll be fine and you won't have that horrible failure that people were making the Double Roller out to be. Also keep in mind...you have to X the balance shaft to run a Double Roller too since the Aussie motors don't have those AND they have more oil ports for the cam on the lifter valley...which I was going to have done...but figured...meh, screw it.

shoot for a VS cam, you wont be disappointed.

I say vs also.

I say big cam...and love it like me.

i would rather have over kill than not enough, better safe than sorry.

I agree, but an XP is a tiny cam.

#90 LS6 springs/retainers are even rougher on the valvetrain than 105's...sooo...not really seeing your point. They are just as good as 105's and get the job done...I shifted over 6300 with the XP and 90's. No float or anything there. BUT, 44K or whatever on a new chain/dampner...it chewed up the dampner pretty good.
