Does anyone know of a good reference source on a cam install on an LS2?

I'm using this same write up for my cam install right now. It's a great resource, but because of other things that seem to pop up, it's going into my third week If I had known it would take this long, I would have had it done for me.

Ouch... let us know what else you ran in to. Parts issues, tooling issues?..

....how many work hours inside of that three week period of time?

That is a RIDICULOUS amount of time if you've been working hard on the car.

No, just overtime at work, going out of town to see kids, mom. I've probably got 10 hrs in it and the cam's in, but that's it. The only parts issue is ATI sent me the wrong damper, so I'm waiting on that.
