yes im trying to return to stock cams....but i dont have them...this is why im trying to sell the stage 2 cams and trade for some stock 07 cams....
and no i had no idea that the lsj and l61 had the same cam grind....do the 07 lsj cams also fit into a l61 head since they are shorter

ok so i have everything installed now....but the engine dont start.....it cranks and it spits fuel...cuz i can smell it...and its not leaking or anything...but im not sure if its firing....how do i go about cheking if the plugs are faulty or if i damaged the coil pack or watever?

at one point it sounded like it wanted to start but that was it....no ignition at all

it did like 2 pops like it ignited but that was it...im thinking the plugs are faulty...

Yeah, take them out and check for any kind of gunk or damage. Fresh plugs are a must.

I'm guessing you got the cams then?

yes i did i had to go hunt them down...apparently they came yesterday but i was home all day and no one knocked on the door....so i had to go to the post office and they didnt have them there....so when i came back i ran into the mail truck and i was like wheres my package...and she was like o i just put it in the box for you......i was o thanks....and then i ripped it open and went straight to my car for installation....so yea....took me about an hour to do the whole thing....Thank you.

these plugs are brand new....

i think these plugs might be faulty or something unless i damaged the coil packs

what do you think the dealer will say if i take my car in for service...will they deny it since i have all that aftermarket **** on it?

not only that..but its very obvious that the head is from an 07 and i have an 05....i think they will be suspicious....what do you think?....lol

Well, regardless of what you've done to it, they'll always service it. You'll have to pay though, unless you can get super sneaky and put stock parts back on.

Also, how the heck did you manage the 07 head on the 05 block? I knew it could physically mount, but I didn't know that it would actually work. You sure that's going to work alright?
