Need help finding tools... i'm getting ready for my in car cam swap on my 02' SS. I need to purchase two tools for the job.
Looking for
1 JPR cam install tool to hold the lifters
2 MORE valve spring compressor that fits under the cowl
Was told i could get them from thunder racing, but is seams as tho they have closed. anyone know where i can get the proper tools that i need?

Agree, but risk is low. By rotating the cam without the rockers and push-rods, they will be captured in the lifter trays and stay put. Not guaranteed like you said based on wear, but most of the time it works.

i wouldnt waste money on the cam install tool. the lifter trays should hold up fine however go to lowes or home depot and get a 5/16 wooden dowl and cut it to length then file one end down to round it off. works just like the metal tool but only costs 75 cents
