Chevy Camaro Forum Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums. I decided to do my camshaft install in my garage at home and figured it would be a good opportunity to document it as thoroughly as possible so others wondering about doing the same could do so. I get quite a bit of good information from the community here and I try to give back as often as I can where I feel I am knowledgeable so this is one of those attempts.

I may have omitted something during the write up here so I will continue to update the thread as things are called to my attention. Helpful Resources. I will say up front that I am not a mechanic but do consider myself mechanically inclined in that I am not afraid to dig into the car having prepared myself for the task at hand. I have also never stayed at a Holiday Inn Select so I have that strike against me before I even got started. I did not undertake this task without researching the whole process online, in books, and by posting questions here in the forum when I needed to so here is a list of most of the resources I utilized throughout the project The often cited LS1.

Like I said, I probably left something out but lets get on with it. First a shameless attempt to insert myself and my car into the thread 1. Start by getting the car up off the floor onto jack stands, ramps, or a lift if available and then disconnect the negative battery cable in the trunk with a 1. I know2. Open up the radiator to help it breath while draining the coolant out of the system did I really have to put this, probably not but I make no assumptions about who is reading this3. Place something to catch the coolant under the radiator drain plug at the bottom of the drivers side of the radiator. Unscrew the flat tab on the plug about one full turn or so and drain the coolant out of the system. Prepare to remove the stock air intake or aftermarket I have a Roto. Fab CAI intake by undoing the 1. Unplug the MAF sensor, disconnect the PCV hose from the intake pipe, and remove the intake tube from the throttle body. The stock intake requires a good yank to pop it out, as do some of the aftermarket ones that seat in the stock hole beneath the intakes heat shield. Basically unbolt or disconnect everything you see here in the picture. I chose to unbolt the radiator fans from the radiator just to make removing them out of the engine bay a little easier doing them one at a time. Once all the stuff on top of the radiator is disconnected, tilt it forward and unbolt the two bolts that hold the AC condenser to the radiator as there is no need to take the condenser out as there is enough play in its lines to prop it up out of the way when swapping the cam out and in. At the bottom of the radiator on the engine side, disconnect the two transmission cooling lines by removing the black plastic cover on the radiator end of the line and popping off the small clip holding the line in with any small pick like tool I think I used the smallest allen key I had lying around and then pulling the lines out of the radiator as well as their holding brackets so they swing freely. Youll want a drip pan underneath them to catch any transmission fluid that comes out of the lines and the radiator. There is also the lower radiator hose that connects to the Water Pump inlet housing which isnt pictured, it was a pain to try and get the hose off so I just unbolted the inlet housing to disconnect it and took the thermostat out. You can go ahead and remove the radiator fans at this point and then the radiator I did them separate just to make things a little easier working each one out on their own9. These are what the two clips look like if you havent gotten them out yet to see them yourself. Unbolt the four AC line brackets with a 1.
