Default Hot rod cam install on my 3V

Hey guys Im about to embark on a cam swap on my 06 gt. I was just seeing if anyone had any words of wisdom. If anyone knew where I could rent the valve spring compressor and timing chain wedge rather than buy them outright.


Thanks,
Matt

MSE,
X is right down the road and I am in Columbus.

I decided that the price to put four cams in my 2012 wasn't going to be in my budget. But I would like to watch it being done. I will sit in the stands with X.

It doesn't seem like that tough of an install but I personally don't trust those timing chain wedges myself and I don't want to risk dropping a valve (at that point, you'd have to pull the heads = no fun). I'm going to be pulling the timing chain cover to do my install either Monday or Tuesday (I have a 3v getting Hot Rods as well). Terry from Street Lethal Performance is helping me out with mine. If you'd like me to talk to him and see what we can do for you just let me know.

Yeah that would be great talk with him and see what can be done. I really appreciate it.
