Engine Builders..nedd Tips on 90 L98
hi all, i want to rebuild, or lets say make my Engine a little better :-)
ok, here it is
does anybody sell a complete TPI Engine gasket set? which height of head gasket do use?
i have a really nasty cam in it, that only made problems ..so i want to go to this one, waht do you think??
Specifications:
* Advertised duration: 262 intake/264 exhaust
* Duration at .050 in.: 206 intake/210 exhaust
* Gross valve lift: .450 in. intake/.480 in. exhaust
* Lobe separation: 112 degrees
* RPM range: 1,000 to 5,000
* For factory roller engines with stock TPI and computer
also, new roller rockers...
which T-Chain would you recommend??
are there other things to look at??
harmonic damper? motor mounts?
ok, i hope you help me again..
thank you

Re: Engine Builders..nedd Tips on 90 L98 (corvette90)
Having recently gone through the same thing, my experience was that I had to purchase the gaskets in two sets: One upper set, one lower. If there is a complete set available, I was unable to locate it. Perhaps I just didn't look long enough. The upper set, by the way, is plenum, runners, distributor base, injector o-rings, and such. The lower is everything else - including oil pan, heads, etc. Go with Felpro.

My vote is the camshaft you're considering is too mild for any real performance enhancement.
Tell us more about your setup and expectations/use for the car.
You'll be a lot better off selecting your gaskets individually rather than in a kit.
Some oil pan gaskets are a lot better than others, same for valve cover gaskets, head gaskets, intake/runner/plenum, exhaust, etc. The idea is to buy the best ones for the job so you'll end up with no leaks.

If you just want an everyday cam Get a ZZ4 cam.. There are literally always dozens of them for sale on ebay and other forums. They are pulled from new GMPP crate motors that are being upgraded
