- Episode three of our low-buck 6.0L LS buildup begins with the installation of new cam bearings-along the way we show you a nifty tool that makes that job easier too. With the cam in and happy, we bolt on the rear cover and main seal, then move up front to install an upgraded timing set. Then we give you a closer look at the specially-clearanced oil pan we’re using-because, if you recall, this LS is (GASP!) going into a vintage Ford truck, which means it needs to clear the truck’s front crossmember. Give this video a looksee and you’ll get a good idea of how this build will turn out.

What happened to “we need to measure the cam bearings”? I was interested to see how loose or not loose the old cam bearings were on your new cam. Darnit!
Why not install the front cam bearing from the rear? No need for a bolt on apparatus.
Same question here. ?
I have a question if you miss the Mark by 1 tooth, what will that cause the engine to do. I have an engine doing some things that make me think that it is 1 tooth slow, but under wide open throttle it runs good?

Sorry to say, that’s the old-fashioned way a better way is to pull the bearing in with a hydraulic or even a threaded rod, so you don’t distort the bearing
What is the part number for the installation jig?
No shimming to center the oil pump drive to the crankshaft?
Many people haven’t ever done this and haven’t had any problems.
@@yogisadventurez Great for them. The shims center it up. Melling tells you to do it two different ways if you watch their install videos. If you don't use the shims you are supposed to loosely bolt the oil pump on, rotate the engine over several times to center it up, then bolt it down. Shimming definitely makes a difference. When I did mine I tried it with and without and there was a noticeable difference.
@@gearhead7896 Yeah like a said, plenty haven’t. Just as these guys. Nothing happens :/. G’day
mmmmmm G'day
