Hey man glad to see that your project is going well. Have you ran into many problems?

 

Looks like its going smooth so far.... good luck with the rest.

 

Good luck with the rest of the install.Where did you get the spring compressor from? Also did you use a cam holding tool to degree the cams or is there another way to do it without it?

 

Looks good, but make sure you degree them in.

 

You have alot more patience then I do. I would have pulled the engine to do that, I hate small tight spaces (unless they are warm and wet). I almost pulled the engine to swap the valve covers when I couldnt get the stupid stud in but my friends kept me calm and they got it in.

 

everything has gone smooth , its just a slow and tedious process. I bought the tool from advanced they ordered it for me. I did not need a tool to hold the cams they have a place on the cams to hold them with a wrench. everything is done except the valve covers and cop's plugs etc. will update pictures tomorrow and hopefully a sound clip. I am ready to hear it rumble. to anyone who is thinking of doing their its not that hard just take your time and get a friend to help you out.degreeing them was a small challenge but hopefully worth it.

 

I will be doing my head and cam swap in a few weeks.. I hope it goes this smooth. You make it sound easy.

 

congrats. Hitechs's have awesome gains, you shouldreally enjoy them once you get it tuned.

 

Doug from Bama chips made me a custom tune for all my mods including the new cams for my sct I just bought from him. I hope that tune works well will keep you all posted.
