good clip.. what about locktite on the bolts?.. I do it, just for peace of mind.. dude. that timing chain went on so much easier than mine. I have a long dowl on my cam for the vented opti.. so it make it alot harder. I thougth about pulling it out, that would make it easier.. but it didnt come out to easy. I got it on eventually.

also, what chain is that?. is it being reused?.. That seem prety loose. My new cloyes chain is much tigher..

but sweeet.. keep it up.. seems like its going good~..

Thumbs up

I think what youre doing is great, but I have one suggestion. Since some of the people watching and learning from this will be complete newbies to all this , Iwould specify that you are removing a bolt completly or just "loosening". I'm referrencing to the removal of the linkage cover on the first video you say "loosen the 9/32 screw" when youactually remove it.

Its little things like that that leave new people looking real hard into stuff...lol

Overall I thinkit great, Good job!!!

there is going to be alot of little tips and changes like that.. I think to deal with them, you should pause the video, and have text come up on the screeen with what you want to add.. and what exactly you removed and the important stuff.. just an idea..

Thanks for suggestions and everything guys. I've already made atleast 5 of these videos and they all contain full informative text slides right before the video clips just like you guys suggested because I myself always want to include as much information as possible. I'm working to make myself better on these. As soon as I launch the site I will be buying a tripod and a better camera to make things look better as well. And Kyle I'm using a new Lt1 Gm Chain. They come designed with maybe a 1/4 to 3/8 inch of slack. My Ls1 was the same when I cammed it as well so no worries. I did a lot of research on the chains and it seemed that the Lt1 chain stock was enough for what I was looking at doing although if funding was there I would have went with a nice double roller setup which I might always do in the future as a seperate video. The editing process on this is so tedious and time consuming so I hope everyone realizes what it takes to create a video like this that will have more than a 2 hour runtime when it's the full remove, rebuild and reinstall process. It's literally months of work and editing and I put a couple hundred hours into projects this big on video.

We are up to 209 clips for the large video (pull, rebuild and reinstall your ltx). We are about to install the intake to give you an idea of how far along we are...

Gonna be well worth a download I can promise you.
