What ever was on the cam isnt fresh anymore and may have hardened a bit.....Bill S

My buddy bought an LS7 crate engine in 1987 and as soon as he got it home he tore it down and found dirt and grit inside. Cleaned it all up and put it back together. Still going strong in his '67 SS 396 Camaro.

Absolutely a tear down and lube and spec check would be worth the time. Especially for peace of mind. Great engine. No genetic internals in this beast. It's got all the good stuff.

Hate to revive a dead thread, but is this unfired LS7 still around?
