Subject: Re: LT1 Cam Install Help Needed?? by biggrizzly on 2009/2/18 18:55:18 I'm not sure what you guys are talking about here. There is no distributor drive gear per se on an LT1 since it has the opti up front. There is a stub shaft with gear that drives the oil pump and it is steel on the LT1. (I assume that is what you all are talking about) For what its worth, my factory original oil pump with 150k miles on it was inspected cleaned and replaced with the original coupling. It now has a couple thousand miles on it with no incident after the rebuild. Oil pressure is still great. Unless the gear on the stub shaft is dicked up, I wouldn't mess with it, but that is my non-chalant approach to the mechanicals. I might replace the water pump drive gears and shaft depending how they look. Rick, how many miles on the engine? |
