1999 Chevy Corvette

A special puller tool is used to remove the crank drive gear on the timing set, so that it (and the rest of the timing set) can be replaced by a single-row LS2 timing set purchased by the owner via A&A from Scoggin-Dickey (PN SD7240). The bolts on the cam gear are snugged first in an alternating pattern, then torqued to 18 lb-ft, using plenty of red Loctite. The oil pump is greased and slid onto the pickup tube, and a new main seal is installed for good measure as is a new set of GM lifters.
