It's a pretty nig install, ,this should NOT be the first time you are picking up a wrench

Get a service manual, either Chilton's or a factory service manual. You'll need torque specs etc. You'll need to pull the timing belt and set the timing on the motor. So while I don't think this is very difficult, for those of us who wrench on cars often. It is time consuming. Give your self a weekend, and know what you are getting into before you undertake cam installation.

I cheated, 8 hours in the garage without removing the timing belt. Would I ever do it again, NO WAY.

Im with you fast, NEVER AGAIN!!!!!!!!!

Dont try it yourself unless you have a good amount of wrench experience, i have a lot and it still took me 2 weeks and about 6 times to get it right. look for my other post about my cam install over the past week or so... have someone else do it.

USED TO HAVE...Everything you wish you had, and then some...

You are somebody special Tim, you matter! - from the admins (but nobody likes you, because your username is just like that other guy's, and you whine a lot)

It took me a combined effort of 3 days to get mine in....over the course of 3 weeks. I used the Chilton's as a refrence, and it can be vauge if you don't read into the job all of the way. I agree you should know exactly what needs to be done. The reason mine took so long was because I did miss a couple of things when trying to figure out how long it would take and what I need. It would have taken much longer without ramps, floor jack, 60 gal compressor, impact gun, air ratchet.

Make sure you have all of the appropriate "special tools" you need. For instance - I needed a long version(i used 100mm) of the crank bolt(with a nut) to adjust the timing and to reinstall the pulley. Make sure you have a 5 ton puller for the crank pulley - anything less will break. It's just all stuff like that, and it gets pretty deep so definately read into this one before you dive.

I was also very close to using my hoist at one point to just pull the damn thing out....but that was because it's a rebuild and the bolts to hold the motor mount bracket on the engine were simply too long(probably installed out of bay).

Anyway it's a big job.

I put a new head gasket on so I had to take out the cams anyway. But fast420A helped me out a lot!

To be honest, it was my first time working on my car.(Becides CAI). I say go for it. Labor cost more than the parts by far! Get a manual and you should be ok. Just read a lot and everything should be ok.

But I would get some NOS before spending $500 on some cams.
