Tomorrow we are going to time the camshafts w/ degree wheel.

Hi Sam,

I don't know yet. I expect oil consumption to be reduced due to the fact that my LT5 had 140,000 miles.
FYI, L.A. sleeves are cast iron. I understand the factory nikasil liners retain oil on the surface better then cast iron liners but after 140,000 miles, new sleeves and the whole engine being refreshed should reduce oil consumption.

I did Pete's intake and exhaust cams. Glad I did!
