Thread: Review my cam setup.

I just ordered a cam setup through ZZP and was wondering if I covered everything.

I bought:
XP Hot Cam
105# springs
Modified retainers
Stock timing chain
RTV Ultra Copper
Timing chain dampener
12 COMP CAMS reuseable rocker bolts
supercharger gasket (except L36/22)
2 coolant passage O-rings (except L36/22)
GM oem aluminum intake gasket set
front cover gasket
ARP assembly lube
valve cover gaskets
crank bolt
cam bolt
pcv valve
injector o rings
coolant

Is there anythingI missed or should I be golden?

A tune
Oil
Coolant
Assembly lube
Injector O rings
PCV Valve
Air Filter
Spark plugs
Spark plug wires

Why air filter, spark plugs, and spark plug wires?

You'll want some thread sealant with PTFE, it's in a white bottle at the parts store. Use it on the lim bolts and on the timing cover bolts, and you can use it on any bolt that coolant comes out of on the block. And when you put the lim gaskets on put some rtv in the bottom corners where to gasket pieces meet.

Because you won't usually be using the same size plug, wires might not be needed and air filter should be fine if it's a cone thats clean.

I usually break at least one of the wires getting them off.
Its always good to have a fresh set of plugs to break in the cam with. $12 insurance.
And Air filters are always good to replace.

I just replaced all of them not too long ago. I think I'm going to risk it and leave them be. Also, why would I need new injector o-rings? I didn't think I needed to remove the injectors to put in the cam?

To take the supercharger off you'll need to take the fuel rail off, same to get the valve covers off. You might not need new orings but it's always good to have a set on hand incase you flatted or tear one putting them back in.

Old O rings can get brittle and/ or tear in the removal/ re installation process.

You're "supposed to" put on new o rings any time the injectors are removed.

I'll add those to the list then. Think I could get away with not getting a new pcv valve also?

The pcv is like $5

Lol pcv is 2.95

I went with Fel Pro gaskets.

i though you needed a double roller timing chain to run 105# valve springs?

Over 105 and you need the double.

why are you using a stock timing chain?

Nothing wrong with a stock timing chain. If you dampener is too far in then get a new one and a new stock chain.

alright so i was right you SHOULD run a double roller with 105# springs
