Should be here Monday or Tuesday...I guess I better get the truck moved from Western NE to Northeast KS.
I'll put in a new oil pump and timing chain and swap the cam out for the BTR Stage 1 Truck Cam.

May I give a friendly suggestion? Do a compression test and depending on the results possibly a cylinder leakage test BEFORE you throw a cam in it? It's probably fine of course. I've heard nonig but good things about LS engines even with a couple hundred thousand miles on them, but you never know.
On my 81,000 LQ4 we gave it a light hone, new rings, cam, rod and main bearings, and yes I put a mildly warmed up cam in it. We'll see how all this turns out. Can't wait to see wht you do to yours. Best, Dan
