Put down the rubber mallet and do the job the right way. Because LS main caps have very tight tolerances, they cannot be removed by simply grabbing and pulling on them. Uniform pressure from both sides is the only way to complete the maneuver correctly. The handy 67485 LS main cap remover tool from PROFORM seats itself on the engine block and easily and evenly pulls the main cap upward by way of mechanical advantage. Heavy-duty aluminum tool is engineered for years of use. Sold singly.

Features

  • Pro Series model for GM LS engines.
  • Evenly pulls up on main cap for safe, easy, efficient removal
  • Billet aluminum construction with black anodized finish
  • Sold individually

Cloyes: Timing Chain Water Pump Kits Now Available

David Ayers Leave a comment
Use This Post Clip for Email

Cloyes has added timing chain water pump kits to its growing timing system lineup, starting with two applications for GM Ecotec, covering nearly 4 million vehicles currently operating across North America:

  • 9-4201SWP: for GM Ecotec 2L
  • 9-4201SAWP: for GM Ecotec 2.4L

Similar to timing belt water pump kits, which have been successful in the aftermarket, timing chain water pump kits are necessary as the shift to OE chain-driven timing drives increases. Failing more frequently than timing chains, timing chain–driven water pumps should always be replaced at the same time as the timing chain to reduce warranties, customer comebacks, and preserve long-term system performance. Cloyes is actively developing other kits and will release them as they are complete.

PROFORM has the solution for what to do with those pesky coils in confined spaces. The company’s 69520 ignition coil brackets lift your coils off your valve cover so you can see the Chevrolet emblem. How do they work? A unique rail-mounting system attaches to the threaded holes on the valve cover, and the individual coils attach to the rail to allow for mounting in multiple positions. All necessary hardware is included. Also available for LS3/S7 applications (PN 69521).

Note: PROFORM coil brackets are not compatible with AC Delco coils D585 and D581 or stock spark plug wires (which are not long enough); if making your own wires, a 13–15” length is required.

Features

  • For LS1 and LS6 coils.
