Cam weld supplies needed.

[pmelv8sho]

I am looking to see if anybody has a complete list of supplies needed when doing a cam weld job. I had my '98 done by Kirk way back at the IL camfest. I never got a complete list of everything he did. The reason I ask this is I have a '96 arriving tomorrow and I'll have to open of the valve covers and see if it is welded or not. If not, I want to have a full list of needed parts. I have been searching v8sho.com but I am looking for all the info I can get.

Thus far I have listed the following: 8 spark plugs, 4 coil pack (rear bank), injector o-rings, valve cover gaskets, upper & lower intake gaskets and six cans of berryman 117 b-12 chemtool.

Anything I am missing or others would care to add would be much appreciated!

insulation for rear wiring to coils.

Some sand paper to smooth the runners and remove that really hard carbon build up. Some copper gasket spray. Maybe change your thermostat and replace some vacuum lines while your intake is off.

Get a piece of card board to stick tour bolts in and label them as you go.

I would remove the injector O rings from your list. Black or grey silicone. 6qts of oil plus oil filter. electrical tape and friction tape comes handy at a cam weld job.

Speaking of o rings and injectors. Get a bottle of your favorite fuel injector cleaner and a spray paint can lid. Fill lid with cleaner, the injectors fit perfectly in a circle in the lid. Every day I came to the shop I would swirl it around and also drop some cleaner in the top of each injector. I used both seafoam and "blaster" injector cleaner to soak them. I'd like to think it was effective.
