I got about a hour of free time so I decided to start the can swap. I got the timing cover off and what do you know a 1 bolt cam....and I have a 3 bolt cam so I had to order a new sprocket and bolts. Not bad as they cost me 20.20 for a pocket delivered and 9.38 for arp bolts. But I would have ordered them a while back of I had known. I thought it was 3 bolt until 2010 but it's 2008 and up gen IV.
I got a couple questions.
Any problems with the timing chain adjuster from 1 bolt sprocket to 3 bolt?
Is there a way to upgrade the oil pump since I got the cover off?? I mean with out having to replace the whole oil pump and dropping the pan as the motor is sitting on the pan on a pallet. Or is the new oil pump the best way? Or just leave it?
