Blu3's Post Deployment SS Sedan Refresh
Figured I'd start a thread for my upcoming refresh. The car is almost 12 years old (build date: 10/21/2008) 139000k miles on it, and driven pretty hard. I can proudly say the car has never let me down and never left me stranded. So, since the car has been good to me I decided to give back to the car so I can continue to have fun. My mods are listed in my signature. Still on the OEM clutch and stock intercooler. The car dyno'd at 338 WHP in October 2018.
Parts List:
Axles
Control Arms
OTTP Spherical and Leading CABs
OTTP Engine Mount and Upper Trans Mount
Moog Sway Bar End Links
Moog Sway Bar Bushings
Moog Tie Rod Ends
ZZP 3.25" Fender Well Intake
Cloyes Timing Kit (Wrong kit was ordered will replace another time)
NGK Spark Plugs

Rockauto. Originally Rock Auto only had one side so I ordered through GM Parts Direct. Turns out GMPD only had one side and the other was on backorder so long that they cancelled my order and refunded me, So I grabbed them from Rockauto.

Does Cloyes not make an actual timing kit for the LNF? Looks like the one you got is for the L61/LSJ. I havent looked into it so I dont know.
Beautiful car BTW! Wish I could find a 4 door SS for sale.

Is there an actual difference? I was under the impression that the timing gears had the same outer diameter and that the timing chains were standardized. I have LSJ and LNF cam gears in my garage... I could check.
EDIT: confirmed.
EDIT2: just saw the picture above... can't use the timing gears, but everything else should be the same.

The part number on the box
9-4201S
Last edit here. Looks like it is a kit for the non VVT Ecotecs. Guess I won't be doing timing right now. Thanks for pointing that out. Guess I'll try to list it for sale.

Yeah the timing gears won't work. I purchased my kit all individually if I remember correctly.
other than the VVT gears everything else should work. I did everything on my car timing wise i could possibly get you all the cloyes part numbers if you need/want them
Check this video out really helpful

I think it came out to around the same if not a bit more getting it like that when I got my stuff. I also didn't need the cam phasers since mine where pretty much new. I think I'm missing 2 items tho let me look around my emails again
Edit missing the 2 balance shafts sprockets don't remember where i got them from tho. But if it cheaper that way go for it.

Late to respond to this one. But yes it was the gears I was getting at. Everything else is fine. Good info above as well. I'll agree to someone doing a sticky on the part numbers and info.
