cam install SEARCHED

hello people. im about ready to install some cams on my sr engine. this sounds bad but i have no idea were to start. how long does it take? is it a fairly easy/quick install? i know people have done the install but i cant find any info on how to.

i got some hks 264 for intake and exhaust.


if some one has a garage guide or how to that would be cool.

Thanks Everyone


Jay

This is probably the least of your concerns right now but... don't forget to put some oil on the cams before you stick em in the head. If you don't, you'll have metal to metal contact before the engine oil reaches them and you will grind the bejesus out of them.

best bet if you've never done it before, have someone there that has, or has general knowledge of the workings of your car. You have to know a little bit more than just nuts and bolts.

Do you have adj. cam gears?

I don't know your situation, but last motor build I had I waited for my cam gears to come in. It makes tuning that much more better.
