Who can help with a cam install?
I'm planning on getting a cam in a few weeks for spring, and I don't want to pay a shop $1000 for an install. I'll be getting a 2 piece timing cover with it as well. Anyone in the central jersey area knowledgable and would be willing to lend a helping hand or advice for a few hours when the time comes?

the rack has to come outta the car so if you dont feel comfortable it might be a better bet to have a shop do it for the little extra $$$ but then again it is a good feeling to do it yourself. also if you havent already make sure you get a new crank seal, pushrods, springs, w/p gaskets , timing chain, oil pump oring, ect.

Damn dude for $550 I'd be all over that. I'm all about doing things myself and the sense of accompishment. But thats a lot of hassle off your shoulders. Besides Fran will do a good job.

Damn, $550 ain't bad. The shop I talked with, justified their 4 figure price tag with the fact that the steering rack did have to come out like you said. I may be calling your shop in a few weeks. What's the turn around time for a cam install? Does that price include tuned?

It really is not difficult, just a pain in the butt!
