  • I bought the bearing through Amazon for $14. Some people are charging all over the place for the plugs to block off the dod towers. I just cut the cage and the rollers fell out. They are the perfect size. You don't have to worry about oil pressure loss.

      I believe the push rods are different. I put new pushrods and lifters, and I am running an Ls3 Stage 2 V2 cam. Then I changed my timing cam gear to a 3 bolt. I've heard you can just turn it off in the computer. Once you change the cam, I would do a tune. There is a company out there that makes DOD delete cam that you don't have to tune it. It becomes a stock non DOD cam. No tune, just turn it off in the computer.
