I basically just need to get my Cav on the road, going to throw it together without camming it for the time being...running these springs, am i risking breaking that cam even quicker, or am i going to be alright?...TIA

It will very likely be alright. The issue with broken cams stems from LIM gasket leaks...

Run good oil and make sure your LIM gasket is solid and giver.

Do yourself a favour and put a Street Strip WOT cam on order ASAP.

A bit off topic.

Welcome back

I wouldn't do it, the press on lobe design isn't ment for that kind of spring pressure.

I probably have a set of stock 3x00 springs around. If you need them just let me know ASAP and pay for shipping which should only be a few bucks.

thanks for the welcome back

And that's true Dave, completely forgot about that...Look at WOT-tech, think im just going to go with the "street cam"

brain fart, where are the TCE lifter springs located on the WOT-tech site?

I think wot-tech isn't supporting TCE anymore.

You'll have to get all the TCE parts directly from Marc now, if it's not on his site http://www.britishcarconversions.com/ then email him.

The springs are on that page.

next question, any decent aftermarket STOCK timing chains available, or should i get one from the dealer?

vegeta · Posted: Mon Apr 30, 2012 2:38 pm Post subject:

Dealer only on the timing chains if you want it to last. 94-99 version is best.

i've got a 99' 3400 bottom end...so i know i had the thicker/better chain to start with, was just curious if Cloyes or anyone else would hold up...time to hit up the dealer...lol

Nope, GM only.
