Default CHANGING CAM

Do you need to remove the motor or can you get away with only the radiator ?

Pull the valve covers, intake, radiator, and timing cover....be sure to remove the lifters before you pull the cam

If you still have AC then the condensor might slightly get in the way but it can be done in the car.

Look under front of oil pan for the 4 bolts that go into timing cover.

best to loosen all oil pan bolts to let it hand down a little, makes it easier to slide off and on

thanks guys, was worried about taking out the condenser cause my a/c throws snow ***** right now. if I can move it without disconecting it to get the cam out it would make me very happy
