Cam Swap Complete

Just finished my cam swap!!! Car sounds nasty can not wait to get the car tuned! For those of you that are scared to do this swap... It is not all that bad, taking the steering rack out is probably the hardest step. If I can do it anyone can do it. Everything went smooth.

In the midst of a cam swap myself. How high up does the AC consensor need to be lifted for the cam to clear?

Once it's loose, just lift it up and away as far as it goes, and zip-tie it in position. The hard line will limit how far you can move it.

So how does it run without a tune? Did you try and drive it yet?

What cam and extras (oil pump, timing chain, springs) did you go with?
