I like to take the guess work out, it's a little messy but no question oil is getting where it needs and everything is working. I primed the lifters and it was pretty quiet and pressure right away.. now onto the rest of the list!

im dreading getting the rear cover back on....sort of a PIA coming off.

Sooooooo what about the cam swap ? Did I miss something here? Didn't see any pics or details on the cam swap, did you change it already and left us out, what happened here? I want a refund...

I did swap the cam, it was pretty quick once I found the time. I did what I could when I could.. bearing, measured the cam gear, clean up and then assembly. I still have to install the rocker covers and then I'm doing a list of things- mostly cleaning up wiring and a few minor cosmetic things..

no refunds here..

i bought the puller/press last year when I bought the cam. I buttoned everything up and took it for a very cold test ride! It was nice to feel the cam come on, definitely a difference!

The puller was the combo for 90$ but I can't remember where I bought it from.. I never mind buying tools.
