TEMPEST ENGINE MOUNTED OIL FILTER ADAPTER Tempest engine mounted oil filter adapters eliminate the need for oil screens and provide increased filtering capabilities.DIY LS3 Camshaft Install a lot of pictures, may take a moment to load Camaro.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.The new Arrington Performance SE Catch can provides the same first stage filtration as the Arrington Performance HEMI Air Oil Separator but removes the second stage.Learn how to change your oil in simple stepbystep instructions.Roll up your sleeves and read our handy DIY tips for changing your own oil.DIY LS3 Camshaft Install a lot of pictures, may take a moment to load Camaro DIY HOWTO instructions discussions.OeO_Wr42A.jpg' alt='Challenger Oil Catch Can Install Instructions' title='Challenger Oil Catch Can Install Instructions' />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.Even though I have quite a few reputable shops nearby, I enjoy the challenge of doing things myself when I feel they are within my mechanical capabilities.Tuning the car is another story, I will leave that to the professionals.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.How.To 4th Gen cam swap article http www.The following two books available at Amazon.Barnes Noble.The following threads I got feedback in here at Camaro.Valve Cover and Transmission cooling line clips http www.Stock or upgraded Melling oil pump http www.Measuring Pushrod length and Lifter preload http www.Dropping the oil pan and timing chain tensionerls.Engine Torque Specifications are available in both books mentioned above as well as in the following thread http www.More torque specs from LS1.How.

to take with upgrading the car.Last but not least my father, a mechanic for over 4.Hemi Orange from his MOPAR days of grudge match racing in the 6.I needed some pointers and him mentioning things to watch for and especially him resisting the urge to hold my hand through the process and just letting me work my way through it as it is really the only way to learn.Ill do my best to mention every tool that was used although I am sure Ill leave out one or two so I will continue to edit the thread as I remember everything, all the consumable items fluids, gaskets used as well as the parts that were used so without further babbling here it goes.Parts Used New 3 bolt camshaft I used East Coast Superchargings Big Blower Cam Double Valve Springs Titanium Spring Retainers Spring Seats Valve Stem

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.After loosening the line, tuck the transmission cooling lines behind it engine side so they dont get snagged on it when you are lifting the condenser out of the way later.Using a breaker bar or any ratchet and a 1.Hang the belt somewhere as it will be reused.If you havent done so already, and this is the first I am mentioning it, you may want to remove the spark plugs as cranking the engine with them in is a bit of a pain as youll be fighting each cylinder as it compresses the air inside it when you are cranking it over.Removing the spark plugs wires is a good idea as well to get them out of the way now too.To get the AC belt off, with the car in neutral remember this is an LS3 install, crank the engine over counter clockwise with a 2.AC compressor pulley.IT DOES NOT HAVE TO BE CUT OFF and it can be reused if you use this method as opposed to prying the life out of it with a pry bar.Billet Catch Cans Taipan.XP Performance Exhaust Systems Upgrades.Is your vehicle suffering from any of the symptoms listed belowPoor fuel consumption SluggishLoss of power Black smoke If your answer is yes or no, in all likelihood at some stage you are assured of experiencing these situations with your turbo diesel powered vehicle.EGR Issues Turbo Diesel Engines.What causes this With Turbo Diesel Engines, an oil mist from the engine crankcase enters into the intake manifold and combines with the heated contaminated gases of the Exhaust Gas Recirculation EGR at 3.Celsius.It creates a carbon build up in the intake ports and manifold.This carbon build up, over a relatively short period, restricts the volume of air that would normally be allowed to flow through the manifold into the combustion chamber refer to manifold egr pictures.The less flow, the less performance prevention is the key to avoid the following systematic problems.Is your vehicle suffering from any of the symptoms listed below Blocked intake ports.Blocked EGR valves.Poor fuel consumption loss of
