Self-Install on camshaft?

I have rebuilt several Big & Small block Chevys over the years, with that engine building knowledge in mind, how much more difficult is it on a C5? Has anyone installed a cam themselves? Thanks! :cheers:

Nothing out of the ordinary and you should have no issues going it alone... There are many self-help manuals available for you too if that is the route you decide to take... Good luck!

Getting the cam in and out of the engine is easy, its getting to the cam thats a little more work then normal :)
