Wow,this was your first mistake.
With the parts being extra slick,this will lead to bearing skate.The same problem with syn. oils!!!!!!

 

Awesome write dude, thanks for taking the time. I've been following this thread since you started, and plan on doing a cam swap myself. I just hate buying the special tools for a job I need once.

 

I have a question. The manual and other posts here say that the writing on the cam spacers goes toward the inside. I noticed yours are facing out as were mine. I installed them facing in as per the service manual. Not sure why it makes a difference but if it is written then it must make a difference????
Anyone have any ideas?

 

great thread. between this and the service manual it should be a breeze. Thanks for the time and effort in posting.

 

Atrain68,
Definite +1 for the thorough and detailed write-up inc. pics. If, at some point in the future, I decide to go bigger (already a 103" with SE251 cams), I've bookmarked this thread!!

This is a perfect example of why this Forum is so valuable!

Merry Christmas!!!

 

Thanx for great pictorial and instructions!!

 

This is an excellent write-up and a great gift to all forum members... thanks for taking a risk and transparently sharing your experience with us. Merry Christmas!

 

Thanks for the write up so far.

 

Another thank you... I have been following with great interest as this upgrade is on my list of things to do..

Side note.. I notice you have been very detailed in your work.. how did you verify front cyl. at TDC after you rotated the engine for oil pump centering?
Or is it just as simple as lining the dots line back up?

 

Well done......
