I'm back on the road tonight. Swapped in the new cam. made sure everything was torqued correctly. I manually turned the engine a few times to make sure everything was happy and nothing was hitting. torqued the cam again with pressure on different valves to make absolutely sure again. I'll...

Thanks. Don't worry about it. I'm going to check ebay and then local salvage yards. Just tested the valves and they're all good. Thank god. I should be back on the road by midweek. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

I'm hoping to get it done next week. Is there a difference in the cams between the 3.9 and 4.0? If so, don't worry about it. I'm hoping to only replace the one. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Bummer. Another one down. Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

So, I replaced the valve cover gaskets and chain tensioners. Apparently, I didn't get something torqued properly on the camshaft. I'll test tomorrow to see if there's valve damage. Anyone know a good source for a replacement passenger side exhaust camshaft? Sent from my SM-G900V using Tapatalk

Gaskets and tensioner don't look like any problem. Anyone have a video or pointers on the upper timing chain though? Trying to figure out how long I'll have to steal my kids' car while the LS is down. Gotta say it is awesome coming back here after about 3 years only to see a bunch of the same...

Thanks J

Hey guys! Long time no see. I'm doing my valve cover gaskets this weekend and figured I should probably do the chain tensioners at the same time. Does anyone have a source to get the metal version of them? thanks. PS, I'm still daily driving my 2000 sport. It's a champ. Starting to show...

$501 and I'll come pick them up. :)

102" is the right length but it rubs the idler arm.

Good news and bad news. A 102" belt is the correct size to bypass the compressor. Unfortunately, the tensioner hangs down just enough to rub the belt. It is close enough that I almost consider just filing it down. But, that would be just about as much work as anything else. Anyone know how...

I decided that I will just take the compressor out of the loop for now. I know some people were asking what size belt to use to bypass the compressor. I did a lot of searching and didn't see a definitive answer so I'll figure it out and post here. I won't need A/C for another 4 months or so...

My AC compressor died yesterday. Does anybody have one?

Pektel, thanks for bringing up this opportunity to help out a fellow member of our community. Moderators, delete every response afterwards. Other than the original post the rest of this thread is crap.

A tiny bit of curb rash, but not bad at all. Nice find. Can't wait to see them on the car.

A few quick thoughts on sales, supply and demand, etc. First, I'm not a union fan. They had their time and place and I appreciate what they did for this country. Unions are needed in China right now, not in the US. I come from an engineering background (computer and IT) and am now in...

That is funny. :D Yeah, the sad fact is that I did go back and verify how to properly capitalize 1LoudLS. Copy Paste would have been the smart/easy thing to do. Sorry 1LoudLS for mixing you up with the LS_Monk. Thanks Cammerfe for sticking up for me. Not needed, but I appreciate it anyway.

It seems to me like there is more to the story, such as the device being locked. I think either 1LoudLS is not being straight, or there is simply a misunderstanding between 1LoudLS and Torrie. I'd be happy to be proven wrong. But, it doesn't sound like Torrie is doing anything shady here.

e55, and I can't believe it is even a question.
