Default 2015 Tahoe L83 Cam Swap

This thread is about making lemonade. This 2015 Chevy Tahoe made it to just 77k miles before cylinder #1 stopped building compression. Come join us for a L83 AFM delete and cam swap in vehicle. Watch as we knock some reliability into this gen V motor..

Big shoutout to Jim and the great bunch at Cylinder Head Exchange for the great machine work. Due to our less than stellar planning we ordered the valve springs after the heads went out and so here we are swapping springs on fresh heads..

There are 2 ways to upgrade the rocker arms in a gen V motor. You can buy the rocker arms or you can buy the trunnion upgrade kit and install it on the rocker arms you already have. Here is a video demonstrating how to install the trunnion upgrade on gen V rockers..
