Frequently Asked Questions
What does Dist-to-Loc timing marks mean?
Dist-to-Loc refers to the relocated timing marks used in certain LS1 conversion setups for improved alignment and reference accuracy when installing performance dampers.
Why is pinning the crankshaft important?
Factory LS engines rely on friction between the crank and balancer. In high-performance applications, this can allow slippage. Pinning prevents rotation and ensures precise timing and reliability.
Can this kit be used without removing the crankshaft?
Yes. The ATI918993-1 includes a drill guide that allows accurate in-vehicle installation without crankshaft removal.
Is this kit compatible with ATI Super Dampers?
Absolutely. Its specifically designed to support ATI Super Damper installations when converting LS1 timing marks for custom applications.
