changing camshaft?

Question

when you change your camshaft and lifters, do you have to replace the push rods? or valves or spring or all? 1984 chevy s10 2.8L V6

Answer 1

If you are replacing your stock cam with a stock cam and your pushrods are straight (You can check by rolling them on a flat table) and your springs and valves are in good shape (not bent, springs not broken/all the same height) then no you don't have to replace them. However if you are going to get a performance cam and lifters then it's a good idea to replace the pushrods and springs. (It's usually best to get it all in a set)

Answer 2

that depends, you need to check the push rods to make sure they arent bent, and if one or 2 is, its best to replace all 6. as far as the valve springs go, depends on the mileage of your s-10, if it has high mileage, then yeah its a safe bet to replace the valve springs. for the valves, you should just have to clean them up a bit.

Answer 3

volatile regardless of the undeniable fact that it is your cam shaft. Bearings and lifters are in many situations replaced with the camshaft. yet regardless of the undeniable fact that years in the past human beings might lay a strip of leather-based between bearings to soak up any play. i does not attempt that the two right this moment.

Answer 4

hmm 2.8 i'd just get a 3.4 out of a 93-96 camaro much stronger engine more reliable and can use the same intakes motor mounts and so on just better internally.

Answer 5

If yer putting in the same cam, no. But if yer gonna go through all that work, why not put in new, while you got it apart?

Answer 6

Not if it is a stock camshaft.
