When fire meets ice...

...you get a cam gear on a cam!

Slid right on no problem! BTW, you have 2-3 seconds, at best, to make sure your properly aligned!

And, how can you tell if it's aligned properly?

Probably took about 30-45 minutes to fully return to room temp.

As per Comp's instructions. You scribe lines onto the cam gear in relationship to the keyway on the old cam, then match them up to the new cam. There was .003 difference in the width between the two cams keyways, so it's pretty darn close to dead on.

I did the cam bearing in the same fashion, just to a lesser degree. Froze the bearing in the fridge, and heated the bearing journal in the case w/ a heat gun. Went in with a few light taps using the old cam as an installer. As with the other, haste is a necessity!
