You can't expect a dealer to install something they don't sell, aren't trained to install, and can't put a warranty on.

Our dealership will install gear drive cams with full warning that there could be noise from this set up or other added cost . Some customers understand, others dont or refuse to understand that is why some dealers never step out of the box when it comes to performance. Gear drive cams are easy to install and it is very unlikely one of there techs "dont have the skills" to do the job .

The MOCO is clamping down on the dealers who install aftermarket parts for warranty reasons. It is very discouraging when you got a crew of performance hungry techs who want and can do the work.
