I've watched probably 10 or more videos on this and I came across this one not even looking and decided to watch it and I give you props.... This is the best put together and most in depth yet to the point video I've seen on a cam swap. After watching this I definitely feel confident that I can do the cam swap on my truck
Did you remember to: 1.leave the timing cover bolts lose and use the harmonic balancer to center the cover 2. Put gasket maker on the bottom corners of the front cover where it meets the oil pan. 3. Get a new balancer bolt(because they are torque to yeild , one time use 4. Put thread locker on the balancer bolt threads and on the back of the bolt head where it makes contact with the balancer. If you didn't, the oil pan is going to leak, the front main seal will leak, and it will start to leak out the front of the balancer.
So there's a little trick you can do to help keep the valve locks in place while you're taking the pressure off the valve springs. Get yourself a glob of that sticky ass RED GREASE and apply that grease to the keeper and that will help hold them in place on the valve stem as the hat comes up and locks the valve into place.
xlink is for different throttle. need a different map sensor and you can get a conversion harness to make it easier. check with me if you ned anything else because I have done a few times.
He shot and killed my a CHP officer a month after he made this video. Thats why, when they pulled him over for the modified cam sound,and saw the headers and NO Cats. They just shot him and said we told you. "No engine modification in California.You where warned" Bang,bang,bang....RIP...
The lobe Separation on a 5.3 should be no more than 106 degrees. You're also going to have to either severely limit or almost disable the variable valve timing for that cam, it looks like it's a little bit too much of a step-up to leave the variable valve timing. If it were a little bit milder you could probably use a little bit of variable valve timing. With a mild uptick you can leave the valve timing alone. When you get the cam up a bit, the valve timing starts to defeat the purpose of adding the cam. I see that the serpentine belt is well past needing to be replaced. A lot of this time you're wasting telling us what you're going to do, you could be doing it while you're saying it. Blah blah blah blah blah blah blah. Get to the work already! I've never seen anybody put wooden dowels inside the motor. And if you're trying to be careful not to damage you can bearing you're doing a really sloppy job of it. You're supposed to have both hands on that just as soon as you possibly can. Don't forget to take the oil pressure relief spring off of that oil pump, and Shem it with about one or two washers, so that you'll up the oil pressure because now that you've deleted the AFM DOD system. You can make use of the higher oil pressure which serves the engine better. And it's more than easy enough to do on the original oil pressure system. Don't remove the oil pump without making sure that you re shim the oil impellers when you put it back on. Although I've only seen two beehive Springs ever broken. The Beehive Springs are more than adequate for the cam that you have the operating RPMs of any realistic pickup truck. It's not like you're putting a wild cam in it. Looks like you're putting way too much valve spring for the cam. How did you do a DOD delete without replacing four of the lifters which is required?
Bro, you obviously have no idea what you're talking about. This guy did a pretty good job and for you to spout out about stuff that you have no idea about blows my mind. This engine doesn't have AFM or DOD because it's in 04 Silverado. Also, that cam is perfect for what hes doing so STFU
@@gto.eduardo958LoL, You beat me to it. This is a 04, LM7, They didn't have VVT or AFM/DOD. GM only started using AFM/DOD in on the 2007 on the 5.3 engines. And in 2010 they started using both AFM/DOD and VVT. Going forward on the 5.3's. Thats why these 2006 and back 5.3 engines where so popular. A lot less aggravation, And they easily went 300-K miles if you just changed the oil and didn't over heat them. Ive got a Yukon out here with a LM7,With 340-K miles. Its still got 40+lbs of oil pressure when it's at operating temp. Doesn't use a ounce of oil, Runs like it did the day I bought it used with 42-K miles on it. It was a Corporate lease vehicle that GM did all maintenance during the lease. So at ever 4-K miles it got the oil changed with premium synthetic oil. We had the valve covers off it to just see what it looked like. And I wasn't surprised to see it looked very clean for 340-K miles. Unfortunately the rest of the truck (2003) is pretty bad. The salt and calcium chloride they use on the roads around NE Ohio has eaten this thing up pretty badly. But we're going to pull this engine and use it for a builder for a Pick Up Project thats in the works.
Dude...... @Hawk First you haven't a frigging clue about what you're talking about. And even GM uses the wooden dowels trick to swap out a LS cam with out taking the lifters out. FYI, The cam he put in, has been used in a million different LS engines, Just search it. You might learn something. And if you don't like the way he shoots his videos, Which is how a lot of guys that aren't full time channel operators. Then move on, because you clearly don't know shit about what you think you do.

This is a great video. Lots of info and how to do it.
🔥 appreciate the knowledge bro
Love the video man
Well explain thanks for the help
Awesome job homie !!!
Lmao as he tapped the cam on the block lol there goes the new cam already dented
Are you happy with this intake?
the tbss intake is plug and play aslong you have the wire harness for the injectors?
What fuel pump u running stock ?
Do you have to keep the air compressor running when do the vaulve springs ?
What parts numbers cam and springs
What did you charge for install?
Every LS2 throttle body I’ve seen has a silver blade!
Where you located bro?
Do know how much horse power is gained with that set up?
What heads on that engine 706 small chamber??
Do you reuse your stock intake manifold and fuel rail bolts for the tbss intake and fuel rails?
X link for TB and adaptors if going to the EV6 injectors
How much HP and tq.did he gain from this set up.?
Where did you find the throttle body?
Bro where you located I need you to do something to.mine for real
Where do I find the parts list?
Man are you in Texas I need some help 😢
anyone have links/know where to find the adapters for the tbss TB and Injectors he has?
What’s the link for the tbss kit? Im trying to order one for my 99 gmc sierra 5.3
what parts do you need? I have done the swap and can help with any parts you might need to get it done.
I uploaded a video with a bunch of links. Should help out.
Do u got to tune it or something after doing all this?
Yes, you should
Lol of course you have to bro.
Did you have to use any extra on the TBSS to make it work like an X link harness or something?
xlink is for different throttle. need a different map sensor and you can get a conversion harness to make it easier. check with me if you ned anything else because I have done a few times.
@@natricjol link please to conversion harness
@@natricjol link please
I will have a video uploaded soon with all the info.
Uploaded my quick video. has tons of links. ask me questions there if you need any help.
👍👍👍👍
I have been looking for a chevy ls mechanic to help with my project in Los Angeles . Anybody know of anyone
Look up “Ls swap guru” on UA-cam. He’s in LA
@Adriana Vasquez you could check out Paisa Motor Sports as well he did my 6.0 swap.. he works with a lot of LS engines
@@jayceedelatorre4514 OK thanks is he in LA??
Why make a video if you're not going to answer everybody's questions man answer the questions please!
whats your question
man stfu and use the internet to look it up like a grown man
There’s this little thing called google. Get off the kids back man.

does any one else have experience doing this kink of performance work in California?
The last guy that did this in California, They just shot him. Immediately death penalty at the side of the street. LoL.
Water pump bolts buddy
no maf,still ran
As long as it isn’t plugged in it’ll run
I wouldn't let you touch my truck. Hell i dont let anyone touch my truck but i definitely wouldn't let you touch my truck.
Just curious what you seen wrong... don't want to make any duplicate mistakes?
He don’t know. This kid did a jam up job.
Bet you don’t even have a truck…..
Thats ok, Because your girl let's EVERYONE take a ride on her. Not bad for $30.00 and a Taco.
Moron
Still waiting!
😂💩💩 fix on that 😂😂
