Do the spark plugs have to be absolutely removed to do a cam swap? I paid to have mine done a few months back. I was just looking at the directions (considering taking them back out) and see it says the sparks plugs must be removed?

I ask because I've been dreading the replacement of my plugs in fear of breaking them, but perhaps I don't need to fear that any more because my installer has already broke them free for me? They didn't mention anything going wrong (like a plug breaking) when I picked the car up.

You'll want to take them out. If you're afraid of pulling the spark plugs, you'll definitely not want to do the cam install. Just follow the write-ups and you'll be okay.

So that means my installer definitely took them out. That's a very good thing. I'm not good at doing delicate stuff like painting or not breaking a crappy stuck spark plug. Tougher/stronger jobs like swapping my LT's and exhaust I can handle. Since the iffy part of the swap shouldn't be an issue, I should be able to handle it.
