I just made it on a lathe. Our cnc is down right now at work and have not had time to fix it. What are you wanting to build?

Just purchased an EPS 226 INT./230 EXT. .600 lift custom cam today....2 weeks and counting until I get it. I am hoping for 40+hp over stock with good throttle response.

Just ordered a new cam retainer plate, ARP cam bolts, rear main seal, rear gasket, LS2 cam gear, and C5R timing chain. Should be enough to complete the rotating and timing assembly.

Time for an update. Got the timing stuff all installed!!
The new cam, all lubed up and only one place to go...

It went in so good!!

Rear Seal and Rear Cover are in!!

I was interrupted by the mail man. He had a present for me!! Timing chain damper came in!!

Cam retainer plate is in and I drilled and tapped the block for the new timing chain damper!!

Cam timing mocked up. Dot to dot. Pretty simple.

Timing gear, C5R chain, and timing chain damper installed!!

All done for today. Short block is almost done!! Just need an oil pump and front cover.
