well i just mean that the car is going to feel
different, after all that is the point of cams.

my mileage is down 2 mpg, but it's a trade
off i am willing to make.

oh it's fine, ask away that's why we are here.

what i did was after changing the cams was to take a short
drive, just far enough to get the oil nice and hot, then
came home and did an oil change.

i didn't get on it hard until i had made a few trips with
the car, the idea being i wanted the cams to go through
some heating and cooling cycles. it's probably not even
necessary, but it just seemed like the thing to do, so i
did it.
