Stroker Engine Build Extension

The LS1 cam is a hollow design, so a long 3/8 extension can be slid into the end to help with its installation. This is necessary because when the cam is nearly all the way into the block, there will be no part of the cam remaining to lift up on and help guide it back. You don't want the cam to fall onto its lobes and risk scratching them or its bearings. Be patient, and don't slide the cam too far or it will slide out the (currently coverless) back of the block!
