I watch your stuff a lot an it helps me out some lol, sometimes I gonna get me a second hand but I’d love to do a cam swap but my trucks got 300,000 original miles a just got me a parts truck to fix it up some

[@alexcarbajal4862]

How are you? I watch your video on how to replace a door blend actuator on a ford f150, thanks for posting it, it helped me a lot. I have a question and here it is, why does the actuator keeps breaking? I've replaced it 5 times in the past 2 years. Any idea?

[@EastAlen]

Always wanted to put a can in my SS. Doesn't look as bad as I thought it would thanks for the vid

[@BoBuilds]

Its not hard at all you got it 👌

[@EastAlen]

@@BoBuilds can you do it without pulling the motor? (04 chev silverado SS)

[@BoBuilds]

No you don't have to pull motor. Just the fan/ radiator

[@UNEEK_LOGIK]

What’s a Can??!

[@sholan]

So good. Thanks man. Love your videos

[@3madeamps]

That's 377 dollar kit off ebay ?? Or same as ???

[@rustyoldwrench6386]

Hey got a question put a sloppy stg2 cam kit springs included in my 6.0ls with no plugs in and rotating at crank with ratchet should I feel indents while spinning ? My first performer cam

[@andrewlovett8890]

Hi Guys. Great Video. Gonna be doing a cam swap in my crate LS2 this year. Got to ask...why is that cam called a sloppy stage 2?? Heard that phrase a lot , but can't seem to find an explanation..Cheers 👍🇬🇧

[@teabag402]

It's just the name of the cam, just marketing.

[@TheDuck8679]

Speaking of the old school tricks, do you not have to do a cam break-in on the ls at 2500 rpm for 20 minutes like the old sbc?

[@Headied]

This is only required with flat tappet cams/lifters. All LS engines use roller lifters. No need for break in.

[@jacobpalma9709]

Wat year comparably is this fixing to lifter on my2013 Tahoe but if the cam is damaged I’m wanting to do an stage 1 swap on it

[@kylegeorge1814]

Hey bo was wondering if I went with an stage 4 came for the 5.3 I was gunna throw in my Sonoma would I have to get and high stall torque converter and get the engine tuned ?

[@teabag402]

Any cam swap you need a tune and yes you need a converter. Watch Richard Holdners channel he breaks down which cams are best for which motor, sloppy stage 2 is even a little "too big" on a 5.3 so a stage 4 would be way over kill

[@kingchief8062]

Probably a crazy question. But is it ok to use the stock springs ?

[@wob6776]

Probably not, and either way a cam like this will require the valvetrain being looked at every 2 years or 25k miles. Not to mention you'll probably be leaving power on the table. So might as well bite the bullet and get some pac 1218s or 1219s.

[@rodriguezluisu87]

Bro can i put the same cam on a lq4 with stock pushrods and springs?

[@teabag402]

It depends how much lift the stock spring allows vs how much lift the cam that's going in has. Say the cam is a 595 lift and the springs are a 550 lift then no, u need springs. Say the cam is a 550 lift and the springs are 595 lift yes. Make sense?

[@krischris8111]

What kind of water pump do you use?

[@LILGIBBYPRR-ESR]

Can I put a stage 2 cam but make it quieter

[@erik120719]

Yes, ive had mine tuned a few different ways, I can always hear cam difference but some tunes less than others

[@barrykilts4506]

Can someone tell me what the hell a sloppy stage 2 cam is

[@salinajt1]

Is it the china sloppy stage 2 ??

[@BoBuilds]

Yup

[@MrRajay2U]

Should have titled it "Lunch hour camshaft install"

[@peteg9396]

Badass!

[@BoBuilds]

Lol thanks man

[@finlay230]

Great vid man, 👍

[@KazDolla1]

Did you have to modify the tune to start it right up

[@erik120719]

Yes and no...mine fired a 6.0 on stock 5.3 tune but had to hold throttle to keep running and even then ran like poop. Get a tune

[@CarEnthusiastForever]

What size are the lifter dowels to keep the lifter off the cam lobe

[@teabag402]

5/16 wooden dowel rods, he says it in the video

[@rickstevens452]

Do you use loctite on cam bolts or cam plate bolts

[@teabag402]

You should

[@UNEEK_LOGIK]

Looks like the kind of work I do while on flat rate.. 🤣. GM Tech OUT!!.. Gotta LOVE ripping off those old lady’s with them Buicks

Cool you're gonna love the cam!

[@MartinMartinez-fd2tn]

Sweet...

[@BoBuilds]

Oh yeah 🤙

[@henryrangel7354]

Is it OK to use arp bolt lube as camshaft pre assembly lube?

[@erik120719]

Nothing like a dry fire didn't even run it without the coils hooked up to get oil pressure up or nothing lol

[@BoBuilds]

This aint no delicate ass SBC. Hydraulic roller lifters are pumped up, oil pump holds oil from last fire up. Let er eat. Do what you want with yours tho

[@erik120719]

@@BoBuilds was messing with ya. Just finished my lq4 , 243 heads, ss2 cam, I turned motor over for a few seconds without coils hooked and the new melling pump ( i greased the impeller tho) picked up oil almost instantly. I'm old school, I still soak lifters tho, habit hard to break when I been doin it same way for years. Supposed to pull the plug on side of the block and fill with oil but I couldnt easily get to mine with motor in and just spun it a bit and all good. This 6l is an animal , love the ss2 cam, sounds mean and about 3k it REALLY shines!

[@erik120719]

@@BoBuilds mt motor was totally dry, had to pull crank and change reluctor wheel so I just redid everything while i was there. Didnt pull connecting rods and pistons tho but everything else was done.

[@teabag402]

​@@BoBuilds I'm guessing it was backfiring through the exhaust because it needs a tune?

[@robertmoore4637]

Easy, peasy

[@BoBuilds]

Yes sir!

[@robertmoore4637]

@@BoBuilds I have a crushed lifter causing a slight misfire. Have a vid on heads and brands or recommendation? Will do a cam swap after the fix.

[@darrenc.9713]

Lol take the plugs out of it, Merle. The mfer spinn so much easier, without compression.

Idk, just some shit I found... Lol
