2008 aluminum block 6.0L VVT truck engine with only a few minutes of run time on it. Comes with the cam, lifters, lifter guides and bolts. My description is only a guide and I cannot guarantee it is 100% correct, just what I found. Sold as-is!

If its a regrind stay the hell away from it. There have been many members on here that have needed new motors after installing one. Ask around about them.

I sold a regrind from the plano based guy. It was an 02' LS6 copy with 112 LSA, they guy that bought it installed it and has been running it for a while, he absolutely loves it. I guess the moral here is, you win some, you lose some. I know that regrind cams can fall apart on you sometimes due to stress cracks in the core. But its really hard to find these cracks and you'll probably be better off just buying a new cam or a used(low milage) performance cam.

I Am Still Here, I Work 12-13 Hour Days At The Mb Delearship And Dont Have Many Chances To Get On The Site. I Was Only Asking About The Ls6 Camshaft The Other Guy Butted In On My Thread(its Ok) Thanks For The Links To The Pushrods And Springs. Do I Need Different Retainers To Use The Different Springs? We Are Having A Baby On Friday So I May Have Some Time Until Next Time I Visit The Site, But I Am Not Gone.

I got my ls6 cam in today, very very little wear(if any). So is beertestr correct in saying that I can reuse my stock 5.3l pushrods and valve springs? My truck does shift at 5.5k with the Nelson tune. If not, can someone suggest a little bit cheaper valve springs that were recommended earlier? I took 2 weeks off of work to help the wife out with the new baby and to get our 3 year old used to not being the baby anymore or less of a baby. I can have the camshaft in in that time if no new valve train parts are needed, low on paper. Thanks for any help.
