After finishing up the valvetrain, it then becomes simply a matter of reinstalling the parts that were removed in order to gain access to the camshaft and valvetrain components. A new GM front cover gasket, crankshaft front oil seal, and the front cover are installed and the front of the engine is buttoned up. Consult the service manual for proper harmonic balancer installation. The dipstick tube is installed on the passenger side, then the plugs, plug wires, valve covers, coil packs, AIR tubes, and fuel line are put back together. Once the top of the motor is complete, the arduous process of installing the drive pulleys, along with the radiator and A/C condenser, begins. When everything is back together, the strut-tower brace is reinstalled, a fresh fill of DexCool is put into the radiator, and the battery is connected. Although the A/C system is hooked up, it won't be recharged until after the initial tune. View Related Article
