you are a good teacher and seem to be very patient and obviously very knowledgeable. i am 51 in a few days old enough to be your father or grandfather haha. ive always tried to work on my own cars and you are teaching me a lot. you are making me confident to step out of my comfort zone and attempt to do more technical procedures than ever before. i thank you for that. i wish i could have had a dad like you. that is about the best compliment that i can give, and you have earned it. keep up the awesome work!
I put the piston on top dead center, take the plug out and take an old plug knock off the porcelain,then weld an quick disconnect chuck to it plug the air hose on and turn the air on. That way the valves stay all the way up
Hi, great video just one question, do I keep the engine top dead center with the cam gear and crank gear lined up for replacing every valve? Or do I have to move it for each set of valve springs I do for each cylinder?
I’m having trouble rotating the engine. I’m doing a cam swap and when I try putting it TDC the timing is very hard to rotate and when I do the crank bolt ends up just tightening.
You probably finished already but the next time you have to do one; take off the spark plugs. It releases the pressure when the piston is going into the compression stroke.
I’m doing an lt-1 upgrade on a 94 impala. Iv never done an lt-1 & I’m curious what you think is a better compressor, to work on it under the hood...especially for the firewall cylinders.
My personal is rule is I only replace push rods if the rods ends are worn down, or if the cam is bigger than .570 If a cam is small enough to run ls3/ls6 valve springs i run stock rods
20 psi ! If anything more it can push the piston back down . I usually put shrader in the air line to keep the air going one way and not coming out unless I manually release it .

This is the nicest comment i have ever received..thank you so much for the kind words and im glad my video has helped
What a awesome comment gives me hope in this crazy world that there still some good people left out there
Can you do a video on removing and reinstalling the heads, on an LS engine ie.... Torque specs and degrees of the bolts and so forth pls.

Killed it. Made it look easy!

Is that what this is, T.D.C. method? So I have to find T.D.C. of each cylinder, correct?
Awesome work my dude.

How do you know if it at the top with out what you did ?
Can you run dual springs on a ls9 cam?
I know. Tanks for you videos.
I need to change springs in my ls 5.3 silverado. How do you know when the cylinder your doing is on tdc? With the spark plug in? Thanks
When u compressing the springs how low u got to go
I have this spring compressor. I don’t like the angle the plate makes. It seems to want to push the spring away from the pedestal.
I just did a 228r cam and when I replaced my cam shaft and new springs my balancer is harder to turn is it normal or did I do something wrong
Great videos to share with us. What would be a good cam with great sound and performance. Rated from low medium high. What would be a medium?
Doing it that way are you using the pistons to push up on the valves ?
are you spinning the crank CW or CCW? thanks
Can you use this with the heads off the motor?
I could have sworn he was going to use comptessed air.
I’m in Houston
what does that go for cam and springs?
Price wise for labor
Usually charge 400$
GreaseMonkeyMods I’ll keep you in mind if your willing to do side work.
you make it look so easy.
@@BoBuilds where are you located
Spring Compressor part number and where to buy it?
I’m doing an lt-1 upgrade on a 94 impala. Iv never done an lt-1 & I’m curious what you think is a better compressor, to work on it under the hood...especially for the firewall cylinders.
I thought I was subscribed. Just subscribed 👊🏼🇺🇸💯
Thank you
I notice the left spring lock is not seated all the way
Is LS MTC 7,8 or not
Do you check/replace the oush rods after cam only swap or just send it.
My personal is rule is I only replace push rods if the rods ends are worn down, or if the cam is bigger than .570
If a cam is small enough to run ls3/ls6 valve springs i run stock rods
@@BoBuilds thanks!
T.D.C. method?
How much psi to keep valves for falling down
20 psi ! If anything more it can push the piston back down . I usually put shrader in the air line to keep the air going one way and not coming out unless I manually release it .
that takes too long. i just use Lisle 36050 and have both those springs out in seconds no joke
