Got slightly distracted last night. On my last trip to the US I picked up an underdrive SFI spec damper. I figured swap it now since I'm working out belt arrangements for the power steering.
Also picked up a dedicated LS1 balancer puller. I'd looked at trying to use my regular gear puller but the LS1 ballancer has no bolt holes to grip it.
I'm super impressed with how this thing worked. I only needed a 3/8" ratchet to wind the ballancer off. Really easy to use. If anyone needs to use it, let me know.
While I've got it apart....
May as well change the cam.
Texas Speed MS4 Cam. Should wake the motor up a bit.
A new timing chain and a hi flow
oil pump are going in as well.
These motors are very enjoyable to work on. No gaskets to worry about and everything is dead easy.
Cheers
