Putting in 2031 Saturday

withamc · 02-16-2001, 10:20 PM

I picked up my cam this afternoon - I'll be putting it in Saturday. I've got all the gaskets and cam lube. I'm not changing the lifters or the chain - they've got like 10,000 miles on them since the engine is pretty new. I'm still kicking myself for not going with the better cam when I had it built in the first place. Any last minute pointers? Keep your eyes out for desperation posts if I run into problems. Hope I can get it done tomorrow.

Sounds good, are you going to run it with the 1.7 rockers? That should have a nasty lope with all that lift :-D. You dont have flat top pistons anymore do u?

If you would help me swap my E-303 out, and put in a different cam I would give it to you for free.

Its identical to the 2031. Oh well.. I'll do it eventually. I just dont want to dive into a cam install anytime soon. Lol

Skyman - No, the block is a CCM GT40P long block, hyper pistons. Also, the 2031 isn't quite identical to the E-303 - it's a split duration, I think it's .519/216 intake, .530/220 exhaust. You'll get to see it at Carlsbad in March.

good luck withamc!!! you should be able to do it to day ill keep an eye out for posts!!! see you around, sorry i missed you at Best buy the other day.

Well, I didn't get it done today. Cam is in, I need to check it and make sure it's lined up right tomorrow. I've been taking a little time and painting brackets and valve covers, cleaning up the wiring a little.
I have a question on re-installing the timing chain cover - is there some kind of trick to getting the cover back on without my oil pan gaskets sliding off or not lining up when I push it over that key on the bottom right hand bolt of the cover?
