Heres a good video of a cam change.

He leaves the oil pump attached to the cam plate which I thought was interesting. I tried it both ways and both ways worked.

Ok so i got the manual, looks like the rocker arms need to come off to put on the rocker boxes.... Heres my question,,,, since im going through the hassle of pulling the rockers should i just reinstall the stock pushrods or install the SE tapered adjustables that i already have?????
Is there a strength issue with stockers?
I bought the SE kit and had the covers PC'd...
