found a perfectly good used set for sale on S197. Saved $300 over new and they were the exact ones I wanted. Couldn't pass on it.

i used a water hose to wedge down in the timing chain, and zip tied the chain to the gears, didnt even have to pull the cover just popped the valve covers off and swapped in about 2 hours, that includes me losing the pin and spending some time finding it in the grass lol

Dropping a set of the hot rod's in my 08 this weekend. Did you guys remove any of the cam followers or just remove the caps and pop out the cam? I see some directions that say you have to and some say you don't.
