L98 engine question
Hay i am about to put in a VCM cam package in my ss in the next month or two and will be replacing the lifters as part of the job.My question is will i need to remove the the heads to replace the lifters?
Nope, just the intake manifold I believe.

Are you sure? Every time the dealer replaced the lifters in my old L76 (a total of three times) they fitted new head gaskets which makes me think that the heads came off each time as well.
I have been told yes and no by few people lol

Pretty sure its the same as LS1 and heads must come off.

oh well if they have to come off,so be it
VCM sell a DOD delete kit that comes with head gaskets
So I'd say heads off for the job.
I did see that on there site a few days back.Thats what got me asking this question.Originally Posted by wez84
You can change a camshaft without having to pull heads off but the engine needs to come out in order to do it (need to loosen off rockers and rotate the engine upside down). As others have mentioned heads need to come off though if your changing lifters, no other way to get to them.

lol you dont have to put the engine upside down you just remove the rockers and pushrods and put magnets in to hold the lifters in place.
