Vortec 5.7 performance help(Tahoe, Escalade, & Yukon)


Recommended Posts

Hey guys back from appendix surgery and well came across a new project truck, its a 2000 escalade, the previous owner decided to do a rering rebuild from summit. well needless to say he put it back in and NO go. so i picked it up off him for a small fee. so im pulling the 5.7L(vortec) and am gonna have a friend from the machine shop go thru it and inspect the work and make sure it was put together right. but while its apart i was wondering, timing chain wasnt changed but wanting to possibly put a timing gear set or a double or single roller(which one can work and where can i find it?summit search engine sucks). also it has an upgraded spider injector set and supposably was an upgraded (sfi to mfi) but i dont want to changed the complete fuel injection system want all the computers to work like they did off the line, but wanna make alittle power since im gonna have the engine apart. please can someone help. thanks :)

If you don't want to have it tuned or fiddled with its easy. Just do a stock rebuild. Done. Double roller chains don't like the stock timing cover so any single roller will work better for you. Just look it up on rockauto if summit isn't working for you.

UPDATE: its ALIVE. ingnition control module was the wrong one, (also rocker arms were over tightened and now there is a few bad lifters, bad plugs, along with an intake gasket leak, and 4wd wont disengage) other than that its runs and drives. so anyone know where i can get a cheap but good shape vortec roller lifters.lol (oh and a alternator and water pump gasket)

Ok so new lifters. Alright I'm having an issue with 4wd it makes noise as if it wants to disengage 4wd but the 2wd light blinds and sounds like the motor switches but never stays locked into 2wd.
