Got the cam and springs installed last night. I didn't get to button it up as I forgot to get locktite for the cam gear bolts and rocker bolts. So I'm off to get that this morning. Only had one incedent with the potential energy release of a spring last night, but it wasn't an OSHA recordable so we continued on. On the third cylinder we did we popped the spring off and "boink", the valve stem dropped down. My heart skipped a beat as I looked into the hole of the guide and saw it still in there by what seemed like thousandths. Took the exhaust manifold off and put it back up, then realized I hadn't modified my compression tester properly to give me free flowing air. Once I did that I was able to keep the valves up no problem.

Here are my dots on the cam just in case sees something they shouldn't.

 

Your good to go. Good luck. And I hope you were wearing your Ansi aproved eye protection.
