Default Anyone have a "how-to" install on GTO camshafts? (LS2)

Thinking about putting a camshaft in a buddies car. Does anyone have a how-to on them? Done cam swaps on other cars, but have yet to touch a GTO, and couldn't find anything using google search or ls1tech search

Whatever you do, DON'T pull the balancer pulley back on w/a bolt. Get a pulley installer... I know both the write-up listed above and the ls1howto.com write-up state this, but don't.....

Thank you for the links! I have a pulley installation tool (the good one), so it makes quick work of that.

I might have an idea.

Just installed it last night. Needs to be tuned.

Do a search for a 618 hawk install tool. I'm sure one of the vendors on the right will have one as well.
