Not trying to pay $85 for cam install kit.

What gaskets/etc do I need?

**Fivefingerdeathpunch** · 12-28-2012

Might wanna tell us what cam you are running, what chain etc etc.

You will need a timing cover gasket of course, but you might need other stuff done aswell depending on which chain you run.

**NinetyEightGTP** · 12-28-2012

S1X and JP single roller.

**Scottydoggs** · 12-28-2012

lim, upper plenum, water pump, timing comer, and valve covers and coolant elbows. i think that should cover it all, and they will cost more then 85 bucks for all of them.

i got lim gaskets for 40, the upper plenum 11, and valve cover gaskets ran me 55 ish. so add a little more for the other gaskets maybe another 20.

Does Intense's cam install kit contain all of these? it literally has no description so I don't know.

i have no idea, but if its 85 bucks id jump on it.

I swear if it's just like 3 gaskets I'm gonna gut somebody.

ZZPerformance - Cam Install Kit #ZZ-CAMIP

**Scottydoggs** · 12-28-2012

found it. INTENSE-Racing.com: INTENSE™ Cam Installation Kit (L67/L32)

only comes with lim, and upper plenum, and timing cover gasket. for $85.xx

i got my ac delco lim for 42 shipped,( rock auto) the upper plenum cost 11. ( auto zone felpro) elbows locally are 6 bucks, that timing cover gasket im sure you can pick up locally for 10 bucks or a bit more. so 65 ish with a tube of red rtv. saves a few bucks.

the valve cover gaskets, if they are not crushed, you can clean them up real good and the head top,, and use a light smear of rtv on the gasket, and re use them. i used new gaskets to fix a leak, and it leaked right out of the box on me, so i took it off and rtv it, and the leak stopped.

i hate to say it, but that zzp link looks pretty good.

I just had the VC gaskets replaced about a week ago.

**Scottydoggs** · 12-28-2012

yeah f zzp i knew there was a bad part to turn up. your better off using your old vc gaskets, same chance of a leak using the zzp new gaskets.

Scotty, I don't mean to intrude but where in NJ do you live at? Just curious. Maybe we can have a little 3800 meetup.

Shoot me a PM or whatever.

**Scottydoggs** · 12-28-2012

from what ive heard they leak in a stock valve cover, they just dont fit the mold well. Billboost had posted pics of felpro vs the zzp's, and they clearly dont fit well.
