Good vid man! Just purchased a 2017 camaro with 13,000 miles on it. Wanted one for over 30 years. Think I learned a lot from your video. Hope I wont have to put it to the test. Mine is a convertible with 3.6. Love the car. Thanks.
Nice details and video quality. This looks like my 2016 Cadillac ATS 3.6l LGX 335hp motor (no turbo). I don't see many teardowns of 2016+ cadies. I have a check engine (LOW ECT temp) to deal with under that manifold. Now I know what to do before I get to the hard to reach cooling parts under the throttle/intake area. I can see my parts at 13:31 to the right. Thanks... reusable seals = good. Plenty of hard to see bolts for 1 more short guy.
I have another video on the location of those items when the manifold is off ... It's very common issue on the LGX. I have yet to run into it thankfully. But yes you have the exact same engine
Anyone know how to remove the valve cover off of the 3.6 passenger side. I have a misfire on cylinder 5 that I think has to do with the DOD/AFM. I believe my lash adjuster is stuck so I need to get into the engine
Elite or Tracy Lewis are the best depends on your budget something is better then nothing but if you want to catch the most blow by the 2 above are going to be your best options
Not sure if you know or not but is the radiator temp sensor located under that intake manifold? I have heard it was under there but I really don’t want to go searching for something and taking off parts for nothing. I was trying to see in your video but I could not see it. I have been looking for hours in other areas of my engine but no luck so far. Thanks for any input.
No, but with a supercharger you don't really need a boost gauge. And since you will have hptuners you can log and view all that data from your computer. I would recommend and AFR gauge though.
reason its harder on the v6's is because you HAVE to drill into the manifold for an extra hose for the catchcan. Harder install than most but still pretty straight forward, also plenty of vids here on youtube for the install step by step
There is Kenny Camaro on facebook he does ported TBs and Intake manifold he has been providing for the community for a few years. Soler performance has one as well.
Question - what's up with the foamy "blankets" on the LGX's valve covers? I'd like to change mine's spark plugs, and those "blankets" make it impossible to do without removing the intake. Kinda wondering why they're there, and if removing them would be detrimental...
Overkill and Jacfab are a great combo however I beleieve they took the items down because no one can source the intake manifolds right now. Covid has put a huge damper on sourcing GM parts took me 2 months just to get a alternator bolt. You could reach out to kenny camaro on facebook and see if he has any stock as well. You should join the 6th gen V6 camaro facebook group all these guys are on there.
Ported or ported and filled is very little difference I think its a difference of like 6% airflow If I was doing a ported setup with a big TB I would just do the ported IM especially on the 6th gen. Filling was a big deal on the 5th gens because they have that big empty tongue area at the front that made a big difference.
@@HyperHawkCamaro Thanks for the reply. This helps me out a lot because it was a big debate but I ended up going with the ported intake manifold and big throttle body combo with Overkill a little while ago. I was debating because someone felt like I should have wsnt the other route. I just want to get as much HP as I can before taking the full leap to go forcex induction to make sure I am getting the most out of my car. I've been keeping my eye on the price which is the stage 2 supercharger setup with Overkill.
Hey I have the same problem on a Chevy Camaro V6 2019 with a P0300, Stabilitrack, and fuel trim on Bank 2 at -30… And the AFM does not work… if I explain you with more details, can you help me please ?😅

The p0300 code is a misfire code probably a bad coil pack. Need to put it on a scanner to figure out which cylinder. This will also cause a fuel trim issue because one cylinder isn't firing so your running rich

Great video Ben I just ordered the tb and mani from Kenny and I’m like you I’m just starting to learn so this is very helpful
Great informative video man🤘🏽

Thank you your video Help me too much
Glad it could help!
How hard would it be to change the injectors from this point on? I'm getting a P0302 code
Very good... I see how you got around not pulling electrical connectors which are a PAIN...gtg man
Anyone know how to remove the valve cover off of the 3.6 passenger side. I have a misfire on cylinder 5 that I think has to do with the DOD/AFM. I believe my lash adjuster is stuck so I need to get into the engine
do you know where the diverter valve or blow off valve is?
Do you recommend a specific catch can? There are a lot of them.
Elite or Tracy Lewis are the best depends on your budget something is better then nothing but if you want to catch the most blow by the 2 above are going to be your best options

Yes the Temp sensor is under the intake manifold its a pain in the ass
it is yes its EXACTLY next to the thermostat, word of advice, if you change one DO THE OTHER, its a pain to take all that outta there for one, do both
How tight should the bolts to the manifold be when you put it back on? As tight as possible?
I never found any torque specs so ive always gone off feel they only tighten so much before the metal spacers hit the bolt and the head
Do you know the firing order for these 3.6l
Quick question about the overkill kit does it come with boost gauges and such
No, but with a supercharger you don't really need a boost gauge. And since you will have hptuners you can log and view all that data from your computer. I would recommend and AFR gauge though.
I looked into LGX threads and the common consensus is that there are no easy to install catchcans. What do you think about this?
I mean it's not a difficult install.. just takes a bit more to put in then a simple 2 port that doesn't help with crankcase evac.
reason its harder on the v6's is because you HAVE to drill into the manifold for an extra hose for the catchcan. Harder install than most but still pretty straight forward, also plenty of vids here on youtube for the install step by step
Any 2016 v6 camaro throttle body suggestion out there that will fit?

basically there for noise reduction, and extra protection I'd assume from anything wet getting to the spark plugs
@@infernomaster2702 okay. So leaving them off probably isn't detrimental, huh? Wonder if I could get them powder coated....
What’s the bolt tightening sequence for the intake manifold bolts
1772
Who sells the printed air intake and the 80mm throttle body I can’t find it anywhere for the 6th gen lgx

Which is better, A ported intake manifold with a big 80mm throttle body or a ported and filled intake manifold with the big 80mm throttle body?
Ported or ported and filled is very little difference I think its a difference of like 6% airflow If I was doing a ported setup with a big TB I would just do the ported IM especially on the 6th gen.

@@darrylpolite8722 nice man!! Cant go wrong with a stage 2 kit. Feel free to hit me up anytime on IG usually respond faster there
can you tell me or link me to where the coolant temp sensor is located ?
Yeah I made a video about it
th-cam.com/video/uGW9CoZrACE/w-d-xo.html
That sensor that is on top of the manifold is the map sensor??
This is correct your MAF sensor is pre throttle body and your MAP sensor is on top of the manifold in the back.
Should I disconnect the battery beforehand or would it be okay to keep it as is?
Always recommend disconnecting the battery when working with any electronics.
@@HyperHawkCamaro Thank you! I really appreciate it.
Do u need to replace the gasket since u removed the manifold?
No it's reusable they aren't crush gaskets.
Is there a way to clean those valves with tearing everything apart 🤔
Just seeing this did we speak on IG about this ?
@@HyperHawkCamaro yes bro thanks

2019 Chevrolet Camaro RS 3.6 V6 34000km
- error code P0300 with engine light which appears 1 out of 2 times when the car warms up, let me explain:
1-2km after leaving with the engine cold and between 1000 and 2000 rpm when it's a bit forceful, the car jerks and suddenly resumes normal operation but the engine warning light comes on as well as the ESC warning light which goes off 'removes him very quickly, but the engine light keeps flashing until I stop...every time unsteady idle with vibrations, it must rev on 5...i cut it and restart it generally runs fine and it' is distributed…
But when I read the fault, it appears that:
- code P0300: Random misfires on 1 or more cylinders
- Long term and short term fuel fix on row 2: -35
I therefore deduce that it overinjects
Knowing that :
- new throttle body
- new spark plugs
- coils changed rows and still the problems on row 2
- new injectors
And it never switches to V4 when it should… a link in all that??
If anyone has already had the case or sees a link in all this… I admit that I have been starting to get depressed for 2 and a half months….🙄
The p0300 code is a misfire code probably a bad coil pack. Need to put it on a scanner to figure out which cylinder. This will also cause a fuel trim issue because one cylinder isn't firing so your running rich
Do you happen to know if the coolant temp sensor is underneath the manifold somewhere 🤔
Yup did a video on it.
@@HyperHawkCamaro just watched that video , no need to replace those gaskets right ? 🤔 looking at $400+ 🤨
@@benzoh28 which gaskets exactly the 6 gaskets on the manifold ? They are reusable
@@HyperHawkCamaro thanks a lot 👍🏽
Are the spark plugs right beside the intake manifold under the coil packs like regular or are they somewhere else wanna know before I start
Yes that is correct.
@@HyperHawkCamaro Appreciate it !
