LS Valvetrain Setup: LS7 CID Heads Hydraulic to Solid Roller Conversion

Welcome to one of our most highly requested videos! In today's tech video we show the process of converting our client's LS7 CID heads from a hydraulic roller to solid roller setup. This process involves a significant amount of measuring, careful parts selection, and ensuring all components match each other and work together to support a massive .757 lift camshaft. We take you through the process of choosing springs, retainers, locators, stem seals, keepers, and more. From there we cover measuring coil bind on springs, confirming exact locator fitment, and what to do if your "spring window" math isn't working. We dive into light machining on the heads to open up the spring pocket as needed before doing final setup and assembling the heads.
