Hot Rod Cam Installation Guide
 

Got a few requests for a write up, so
here it is.

Warning: Make sure the cams you are installing, are free
of any debris. Take steps to insure there are no metal shavings or
particles left over from the manufacturing process, still left on the cams
themselves or inside the oil passages



The actual procedure (Hammer's write up):

I know a number of people are probably wondering if they
can do this at home, i say yes you can, if you prepare sufficiently.

This is so good and detailed that I made it a sticky!!!!!!!!!

Great instructions! I'm going to give this a shot in a few months. The only thing I can't figure out is what if you swapped crank pullies? I don't remember timing mark on the pulley.

Note: You need to position the crank pulley before removing the cam
followers. This orientates the cams, so that the 3 cam followers
on each side, have the least amount of spring pressure on them.
I marked the crank pulley, so I can easily see the damper spoke
and the timing mark locations. The line in the 1 o'clock position
is the timing mark.

thanks mygt500, i never expected it to
become a sticky, this is a great honor.

leaf, the timing mark isn't that important....when
you take off your RH side cam cover, you can
position the cam lobes as shown in the guide,
thus determining the initial 12 o'clock position (this
would be where the stock damper spoke would be).

the more you look at the lobes and the cam followers,
the more you will see what is happening and
why the crank and cam is set where it is

congrats on the sticky!
you may have to start the sticky crew. lol.

Hammer all i can say is your the man, thanks for taking the time to do this. i cant wait for a dynoe pull and sound

thank you one, and you are welcome mustanghobby

i've learned so much from this forum and it's nice
to be able to give back

i hope at least one person will find it useful

Hammeron you are the man! You not only got these put in first on a whipple mustang but you also did a great write up as well. Good job man! God please could you get this man a video camera so he could bless us with the sound of this new mod :)

Nice work on the cam install and great write up. That doesn't look that hard. I like how you can remove the cams without removing the sprockets or timing chains.

thanks! hopefully we will see a large number
of stangs getting cammed now
