you sir are correct it was not an ecotec.
it was a 95 cavi

 

if im not mistaken i do belive that engine was produced by yamaha and GM bought it to put in the cavi.

 

well yea i just bought what i need from ebay last night...so its all good..im just having a lil issue with the gasket....they guy i bought it from they run a dismantling service and he says that they dont sale the used gaskets...i told him that i dont give a shait...if does or doesnt...just give me a fucken gasket i told him...so he is going to look for one and if he finds it that he will send it to me....so looks like i should be good...since the one he had pictured clearly shows the gasket on the cover....so i should be fixing my leak here in about 9 days or less....shipping takes for ever

 

well i installed my new timing cover and a home made gasket....ill put up some pictures later.....i did pretty dam good for my first gasket ever made....well installed everything....and guess what.....i fixed one leak...but it turns out i have 2 leaks.....so in order for me to fix this leak i need to remove the oil pan the timing cover...and the lower portion of the block...i forget what its called...well either way its going to be a bitch....but once i fix that....i should be good...but yea...ill put up some pics of my home made gasket

my home made gasket using a cereal box...fixed my leak...but like i said...i still have one more leak.... i really need my tools back...so i can finish this ****
someone let me borrow some tools

 

good job, but I cant help but lol cuz of the cereal box, well at least your getting your **** togther.

 

do you happen to have a floor jack?

 

dude like seriously wtf, pepboys sells gasket paper for cheap man! cardboard is only gonna hold till it starts to deteriorate. hell you'd be better off just using rtv gray high torque, or red copper high temp than using cardboard.

 

i used the rtv ****...and it didnt work...so this fixed it until i can get the cash to get one from gm...its only a temp fix

 

i feel your pain. not everyone has money falling out of their ears to do things the "proper" way. as long as you get it done right ASAP, thats all that matters.

 

once i get payed on the 15th....i will get what i need and all the good stuff

i was just making sure that it would fix my leak...and now i know i have another leak so i need to fix that now

 

no sorry, im using ramps for mine, and I am also using my girls weak ass floor jack, I dont call that a floor jack tho.

 

i cant wait till my duty station changes to san diego. help ya turn a wrench on that thing

 

ramps...that sounds good...hook those things up...do you have any tools? such as

breaker bar
tq wrench ft/lbs

15mm socket
18mm socket

magnet

extension in many sizes

when you coming out this way?

 

I have most of them but not all like the breaker bar. I replied in your other thread aight.

 

well i can do without the breaker bar its all good...ill just slip a pipe on my wratchet and call that my breaker bar....lol

 

not for a while now. the new sea shore rotation came out for all rates and all ranks from e9 on down. i was supose to be headed out there next xmas but now not till june 2010

 

thats still a while from now

 

yeah it is... i was trying to get out there sooner but my CoC said im a vital asset to the ship to our CO (bull shizzy) so they wouldnt let me do a split tour

 

yea im done with the B.S. so im getting out in January...i should have been out in August but i extended a few months...and i have now made up my mind that im done with the B.S.

 

well i have good news and bad news......the bad news is.....

that my car still dont start due to my tune and these stage 2 cams that im trying to get rid off for some stock 07 cams.

the good news!!!!

i no longer have an oil leak...after a month or so i finally got to fixing the dam oil leak.....im so proud of myself....lol...and my special helper who stood by my side holding the light....my wife....lol

 

I feel for ya man, I'm really anticipating that thing finally getting running.

 

now if for some reason i dont sell these cams...do you think i can compensate for them with some adjustable cam gears or do you think that just a tune will fix my problem....

 

Lmao, I just remembered dude I have 07 cams in my closet. I got them off a head I got on ebay. You want to buy them for cheap? I can't believe I've been letting you suffer for weeks when I got a spare set.

Shoot me a pm, I'll get you back up and running.

 

I would recommend returning to your stock cams and using the adjustable gears on them. Forced induction cam timing is really more important then cam lift, and the gears will allow that.

Did you know the only difference between LSJ cams and L61 cams are the timing? They have the exact same grind.

 

Wow good to hear yo, glad to see you got thru it.
