Building a 650 hp Naturally Aspirated Drift Spec LS3 Part 2

The roller lifters are installed after first being dipped in oil.

The roller lifters are dropped into their bores.

Next, the ARP cylinder head studs are installed.

Here are the studs ready to receive the head.

The Pro Seal head gasket is laid down into place and the cylinder head dowels are installed at this time as well.

Next, the cam is degreed in with a dial indicator on the #1 cylinders roller lifter. The cam timing is set to the spec specified by the cam manufacture.  This is an important step that many people skip. There is often some slight differences in the tolerances of stuff that result in the cam timing being off enough to affect performance.  An example of this is if the engine has been aligned bored for instance, there will be more slack in the timing chain and the cam can be retarded a few degrees.
