Default started the hp292 install!

Well I finally got my hands on a set of hp s292's, got them for a real good price. I got them in the mail today so i started the tear down tonight. got the valve covers off and everything except for the balancer and front cover. I friggin forgot my balancer puller at work -.- but I should be able to get it all apart and back together tomorrow, so stay tuned for an idle vid!

^ stock springs. they're saposed to work fine with these cams. I have a set of comp hi loads on my longblock that's sitting on the stand, so it'll have upgraded springs once i put the new setup in.

But i dont want to spend the money right now, or get a retune haha.

Actually no, the entire drivers side took 5-10 minutes. The bolts were all simple to get to with a long extension swivel socket and air ratchet. And it came out like butter. The passenger side was the bitch. The Trans dipstick I had to bend, ac lines were a pain, and I forgot to bring my fuel disconnect tools so had to squeeze it out under the line. That side took about 20 minutes. I was only in the garage for an hour and got that far.
