You guys can knock it all out in about 5 hours tops. Cut the old pushrods out, pull the tappet blocks w/tappets, pull the cover and swap out cam and cam bearing and re-assemble.

Yes there is too much on the internet that the EV27 is the best cam ever!! for any evo bike!!, not true, the EV27 is a good cam for light bikes, Hotrod is right on with the EV13 for your bike

 

That is what I was led to believe as well, 4 - 5 hours for the cam and about an hour - hour and a half for the other stuff.

Thanks and yeah - it does seem as though the focus is on the EV27. The reason I went with the 27 was (figuratively speaking) 8/10 people voted for it so I figured it had to be the best. I still have the option of swapping my 27 for Jim's (?) 13 so I might just do that ........

 

One main question now then:

IF I went with the EV13, will I have to change any other parts I have like the Cam Bearing etc?

 

No all your parts will work with the ev13 both are drop in cams

 

Thanks Mike - appreciate it

 

Now, if anyone knows how to do all this stuff, really knows what they are doing, and is close and has a bearing puller thingy - lets get together, have a beer and do some work

 

You can "borrow" a blind puller from lots of auto parts places. Usually in a kit with various sizes. I bought mine as I do work on/build my motors. Your new mechanic may have one already.

Ebay one I saw was under $40, but call around first.

You'd hope a mechanic that was going to work on the bike would have the tools needed to work on them

Just had a look for blind puller's and they are as cheap as dirt ... what I was previously looking at were EVO Pullers from places like Dennis Kirk and J&P Cycles and similar, pullers specific for an EVO instead of generic (if you will) pullers.
