I'm waiting on a Mast Escalade cam kit and intend to do the install myself, and had a question for those who have installed cams in their NNBS trucks - Do you have to disconnect and remove the A/C core from the front of the truck for a cam install? Obviously, I know that the radiator and electric fans have to come out, but I was wondering if there is enough room, once you remove them, between the front of the engine block and the A/C core to avoid having to move that out of the way?

 

no worries on keeping it on there goodluck with the install!

 

the only thing u gotta take out is the radatior and fans , after that theres enough room ...

 

if it doesn't need to come out . . . don't mess with it.

 

Thanks guys. I still haven't gotten the Mast cam package yet. Can't even get them to confirm shipment, even though it was supposed to ship from last wednesday. Soon as (if?) I get it, I'll throw it in and let you know how it went.

 

what are the specs on the mast cam ?

 

The specs are 220/234 duration .570/.588 lift and 116 LSA. It's the smaller of the two cams that they make for the L92. I got the whole kit with cam, springs and a phaser limiter & instal tool for $709. I also purchased a set of their pushrods and a new phaser bolt and crank bolt. The instruction sheet that comes with the Phaser kit is very good - color photos and very detailed. I can't wait unti this weekend to install it.

 

can you take a pic of the phaser limiter . . . and the install tool. I've yet to see one.

Who's phaser limiter is it ?

 

Will do. Started the installation on the weekend but ran out of time yesterday to finish it and couldn't find my valvespring tool. Cam is in but still have to do the Phaser limiter and valvesprings. I'm pissed because Crane has gone out of business and they had just started to make the nicest valve spring tool for the LS3/L92. My friend has the LS1 version, but it can't work on the L92 heads because the rocker bolts are spaced further apart. Will post the pics next week after I finish the instal on the weekend.
I have the Mast 20 degree limiter. They gave it to me at no charge with the cam kit (cam, springs and limiter kit for $709)
BTW: here's a link to the install that GMHTP did. you can see the phaser in that:

so this is all that you needed ?
