first of all sorry for clogging the boards guys, i got a spontanious urge to work on my camaros in the past few days...secondly thanks for the help so far....i dunno what id do without it. ok for the MOST part i know how to do the cam install the one thing im stuck on is ......whats an easy way for me to adjust the rocker arms/valves after its in....easy way meaning i dont know a whole lot about adjusting valves when the engine is not running...i can do it with it running....i heard i could tighten the nut aand turn the push rod at the same time and when the push rod BARELY moves thats zero lash, ...and from there on i could crank the engine and adjust the lash like that.....any simple ways???

 

I could tell ya..but I would just be parroting what I have read here.....The key word is "Twizzle" turn and wiggle.....do a search..there is a ton of info on this one!!!

ok , does the thing behind the radiator have to come out too?? some hoses are connected to the a/c.....kinda scard to take em off withou asking......help!! tbi is off, radiator out, ...smog crap out....so im getting there....started at 7:30...its 9 now....so fa r so good......

 

dont disconnect the ac hoses..just unhook the compressor and tie everthing back out of the way...not sure what you are talking about behind the radiator?

 

thing thats the size of a radiator but the a/c hooks to it, ...but i got around that problem. heres the NEW problem damn antifreeze spilled in the comparment where the lifters are...about a pint....how do i get that out...what can i do to NOT kill the engine??? im sure it went down the oil drain holes ...i was trying to remove the intake and didnt keep it perfectly steady heh

 

yeah its best to try to syphon the intake with a pump or hose first...shouldnt really be a problem..just soak it up with a shoprag the best you can...when you get it back together you will need to change the oil , before trying to start it ...I doubt there will be enough to hurt anything once you clean it up... This is just my opinion and I'm not a pro...but I wouldnt worry too much.....change the oil again after the 20 min break-in period and then again at 500mi keep changing it till you feel ok with it.

 

you could check the oil level on the dipstick also..this could give you some Idea how much actually got in...probably not as much as you think....change the oil filter with each oil change....
