Thanks again zach for going out of ur way to open one up for me.. i just paid it forward earilyer this week on FB 4.6 fourm.. someone ruined there front cam cap .. asking if anyone had one.. i did from my blown motor... all i asked was him to pay shipping.. he did give me a few bucks anyways...

Ok thanks.. i think its ok to use .. the gears arent chewwd up and no metal or anything was in there...i think in gonna use it .. unless there should be something to check to be sure?

Thanks .. the pic isnt too clear here on my phone.. is the beveled edge facing the backplate?

Ok so i got my mutha thumper cams . And roller followers and a new timing kit for my engine i got last year... and me being me, and a father to a 9 year old .. not wanting to waste more money if not needed.. i decided to go in the basement of my blown 3v.. and look at the less than 2,000 mile...

the stud that sicks out of the driver side head in the rear by the firewall , i opted to install mine on the head first , before i installed my engine into the car to make it easy peasy

soo how much is in this all together thus far

i did the swap ,, g0t my car from copart,, ,, alot of people,, and i ,mean alot of people thought i was full of it , and it would never happen , or i was just trying to justify having a v6 to swap it in a later date,, but i did it,, took a year longer than i wanted to, but i got it done,, it...

if the sjb is bad , i do have my other one i took out of my 06 along with any other spares i thought id need,, before going to my 09 gt, if you are sure thats the problem and cant source one cheap , DM me

when i pulled my motor , i used the top 2 bellhousing bolts , and took off the alternator and used them two studs as lift points

with any "mulled" metal , its best to do as said above, soak it or spray it ,, let it soak about 30 min , than use a torch and get that guy glowing , it will come out squeaking,, but thats due to the heat and all , ,, but heat is youre friend ,, and a proper sized and up to par o2 tool is key

as dino said rebuild ,, i did ,, and its still working like a charm over 1500 miles later
