Cam replacement on a vette Got my cam on order with push rods/ti retainers and 918 springs. What else will I need as far as gaskets or other odd and ends. I will be doing this with friends who have replaced cams in F-bodies and want to have everything ready. Any "pointers" on the Vette will be appreciated.

Nothing really too difficult, rack removal is tedious. Camshaft will clear the condenser if someone pulls condenser slightly forward. Recommend ARP balancer bolt. I pinned the hub of my ATI damper while I was there, using a remote cable drill. BTW, nice pics of your Z06 airwolf

Something like that?
