Cam installation parts

[JDrach]

Hi guys, so besides for my cam, i still need to get modified retainers and 105lb valve springs. Besides a new water pump, aluminum coolant elbows, and single timing chain, what else would i need? All of those were recomennded by Paul at PRJ (besides for the single timing chain, he recommended double but im sure singles enough with 105 springs). I was thinking about ZZP's install call that inlcudes:

• 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
  
  Also, with the single timing chain, should i just get the chain, or the rollmaster single chain timing set?

What cam?

[JDrach]

VS.

Reuse the crank bolt and cam bolt and just go with a single stock replacement chain.

[JDrach]

everything else is good tho? Dont want to come up short handed when the time comes.

[REDCRAPGP]

Grommets but those should come with the Vc gaskets


And oil

And that's all I can tell you need beside what you've listed.

Valve stem seals? and some RTV to seal the corners of the LIM

[dsmuts]

I'm going with ls7 lifters when I do mine but that seems about right.

[GTPpower]

Don't reuse your cam bolt. That's a bad idea.

I would just use a new stock chain and dampner as well, and plan on replacing it every 30k miles or so. The double will last longer, but I don't really like the extra noise and vibration that is causes when it's not needed.

RTV normally comes with the LIM's in the kit....normally.

I'm going with ls7 lifters when I do mine but that seems about right.

According to Matt, LS7 lifters are shorter than stock ones...by just a hair, so something you might want to double check.

hmm good to know

Hmm didn't know that

[JDrach]

Should I go with intenses Manley retainers? Or with zzp's modified or titanium retainers. Idk the pros or cons

[GTPpower]

I would just get a milled steel retainer, like zzp sells.

[CTKGP09]

new cam and crank bolts are a good idea since they are designed to stretch (one time use) like head and rocker bolts. i used the manely retainers and viton seals, no leaks. and a new single chain and dampener will be fine, and as long as you replace any gasket you rip off (if its old) you will be fine...oh yeah and get an S1X!

[JDrach]

Too late, already have the VS lol. Ill check out the manleys. So don't go with the titanium retainers Zzp sells? The "modified" ones or manleys pretty much?

[CTKGP09]

TRADE! one of my buddies used zzp's and they were a nightmare, the manleys were easy and they work

[JDrach]

But I feel the VS is better since I mainly drive around town in the 20-50 MPH range. And alright I'll go with Manley retainers. These correct with crow 105's? INTENSE-Racing.com: Manley Performance Valvespring Retainers

[GTPpower]

No reason to go with titanium retainers with this cam. Steel is fine.

[dsmuts]

Is the titanium just stronger? For big cams?
