RE: Cam Install
there is no easy way. the first thing Id do is make sure you truely have the right cams though. Ive heard too many horror stories. anyways, you can start by pulling all the pullies off and then removing the timing chain cover. make sure the keyway slot is in the 12' position. Im not sure how to tackle the rest though.

RE: Cam Install
If you haven't done it before and need to ask i would definately not do it...The cams need to be degreed in or you may get PTV and have a huge nightmare on your hands. Cams and Gears are 2 things i leave to guys who do it all day long.

how much do shops usually charge to do this? and how long do they normally take?
how much do shops usually charge to do this? and how long do they normally take?
then i asked what if i brought cams and heads they said it would be $800-$1000...
so ive found its cheaper to do heads and cams at teh same time then seperate.
