Stroker Engine Build Retainer Plate

The stock cam retainer plate has a built-in rubber gasket in the back that seals the camshaft oil galleries from the front cover area of the LS1. This gasket should be lubed with a bit of oil before setting the plate in place. The retainer plate was then installed using an ARP PN 134-1002 cam retainer bolt kit ($8.20) and torqued to 18 lb-ft.
