I WILL be using this video to cam swap my LY6 using the same cam!I’ve been searching for an in depth video like this one (the only one with this kind of detail!!!) in order to use that cam or possibly the BTR Truck Norris cam we’ll see, thanks for the content!

Thanks ,very informative and no bullshit .

This finally gave me the motivation to pull my 6.0, do the compression test and get ready to put the cam in. Maybe it will be ready to fire soon.

I really enjoyed our video. I have the exact same engine and transmission package for my desert truck. The wooden dowel trick was money. Definitely will be using that. Maybe I missed it but what were the specs for the cam you ended up with?

Just subscribed to your channel. I'm not an off-road guy,but I'm in the process of installing a LY6 6.0 into my 72 chevelle with a t56 6 speed from a 4th gen camaro. I'll be learning from your channel. Any advice on a computer?

As usual, another amazing video! Your style of narration and editing is superb. If I missed it, I apologize. What is the difference between the old and new cam?

Old cam was the stock VVT cam. New one is the Sloppy Mechanics “Best Cam”.

You need to tighten the front cover and pan bolts in sequence to assure you are flat on the pan mating surface or you will crack the pan in the cover is too high.

I should have watched this before I started. I had to use 7.425 pushrods for now. I ordered 7.450 & 7.475 but I won’t get them for 5 days.

What about the timing chain tensioner? Does that need to be replaced ? I’m doing a VVT DOD delete on my escalade 6.2. Do I need to remove the oil pump and do the oil pan relief valve plug ?

Thinking about doing this to my 07 escalade vvt delete

I am doing a cam swap on my L76 6.0 and the timing cover plate I have for the vvt delete doesn’t have a new bracket or wiring harness what I really want to know is if what you did by cutting the wires to the vvt sensor worked after being tuned, it would be great if I don’t have go buy a new harness or bracket

Absolutely a great idea

Can knock or lifter collapse happen if you don’t get a tune before turning on?

@ntdracing

10 ай бұрын

Not sure about lifter collapse, but it should not have issues with knock. The base tunes are usually very conservative and if you have knock sensors, that should also protect the engine until you get proper tune.

does the vvt delete require tuning or does it just not worry about it if the extra sensor isnt connected?

@ntdracing

11 ай бұрын

Yes. It probably will run on the old tune, but not well. You have to tell the ECM that there will not be a shift in the cam/valve timing. I then tuned the MAF chart, speed density and spark. I am planning on making a video, but the guy at Goat Rope Garage is great at explaining this stuff.

if you eliminate the vvt you got less horse powers so far ...why you do that?

So did you turn the engine before pulling the rocker arms?

@ntdracing

6 ай бұрын

No. During this process I removed the rocker arms first then turned the cam over to seat the lifters in the plastic treys. I could hear some lifters fall back to the cam. This is where the wooden dowel rod came in to hold those lifters from falling into the engine when the cam is removed.

So the 2 VVT wires were put together and used as a ground with the rivet? Since the signal wire has nothing to signal and ground needs to be uh grounded? lol sorry I’m trying to do the same thing here

@ntdracing

2 ай бұрын

No…both wires to the VVT are cut and left alone. I cut them at different lengths so that they would not accidentally touch each other. The reason I had to use a rivet was to Frankenstein a non-VVT metal bracket on top of a 4 prong VVT plug on the bottom. This allows you to use the original wiring from your harness without having to purchase new connectors.

Why is the variable timing not desirable to the point that you made a delete? Just for reliability reasons or...?

@ntdracing

Жыл бұрын

Well…the truth is that I really want to learn how to tune LS engines and my thoughts are that it will be an easier path to remove as many variables as I can in the early stages of the process. Non-VVT seems a little more straightforward. It sounds cool too.

Its very desirable. It improves gas mileage and power through the entire rpm range. A lot of people are scared of the unknown lol. When swapping a cam or any part that affects A/F ratio your vehicle has to be DYNO tuned by a professional TUNER to get the full benefits of that part. That's it. No if, ands, or buts. If you tuner suggest vvt delete find a new tuner. The only exception I can think of right now would be 1,500+ hp drag car or an engine that lives above 4,000 rpm. With vvt and a good tune driveablity will be like stock. If not find a new tuner and by tuner I mean the person telling the computer what to do

Oil pressure is within specs cold & hot no other engine codes exept stabilitrac light intermittently comes on & off here & there.

So Chevy copy’s Mopar’s single rail rocker shafts. Well they say copying is the most sincerest form of flattery I guess. I hope Mopar sues them for every single penny! That’s my 2 cents.
