good to hear bill

 

Thanks! And thanks for the help in finding a balancer bolt. I got his last 2! They must be in short supply!

 

youre welcome bill

 

I've never done a cam install how long do you think it would take me to do one and how could I screw that up?

 

You're like me, you have lots of extra stuff to work around. With my Radix, I removed the J-Tube, and the intercooler piping on the driver's side. I spent the whole weekend, but I was cleaning other stuff, too.

As far as messing stuff up, unless you don't line up the dots on the cam, and crank gear correctly, I think the rest is pretty much idotproof. Spin the cam over a few times to push the lifters up in to the trays, pull it out, carefully slide the new one in. Take your hand, and snap the lifters back onto the cam, run the rocker bolts down to snug, and after they're all snug, torque to 22ft. lbs. Spin the engine over a few times, checking to make sure all the rockers are in place, install the cam cover, and valve covers, torque, and it's mostly done.

 

I got to drive Bill's truck yesterday with the new cam in it. HOLY **** does it pull hard. i like it!

 

When I finally get one I'm going to try to do it my self so If i've got any questions I'll be looking for you. lol

Did you change your oil pump or timing chain?

 

Its not a bad install really just set aside a weekend and plenty of beers and go to work.

 

No, not at this time. That makes it a little harder (although certainly not impossible).
