No luck needed. Take your time and don't be afraid to ask questions.

I think your staging area is a little disorganized. Here is a tip on how it should look. Good Luck!

Love the duct tape, Charles!

George, Jadz928 has a 32V'r that I'd bet he would lend to you if needed.

First time change of cam gears at how many miles?

Good Luck

Couple of tips:

Keep Dewayne's write up handy.

Take lots of before photos to help with assembling afterward.

Use lots of baggies to label all your nuts, bolt, etc.

Don't force anything; if you get frustrated take a break.

Drink beer after, not during.


Good Luck!

Pretty sure George has the dial indicator and base to set the cams up with, I know he has a 9201 and knows how to use it.

One more tip, be sure to put the dampner on the right way.
Not that any body has ever done it wrong, but I can see where it can happen.

Yeah, that and don't use brake cleaner on it unless you don't like orange.

Not that I would mistake a can of brake cleaner for engine degreaser, but it could happen.

That's one right way to do it.

He'll need another table full of seals, though.

One extra tip I don't think Dwayne covered. Watch for this washer. It will fall off when you remove the tensioner and cause some confusion as to where it goes when you find it later laying on the floor.
