Good shop for cam install in SoCal
Hey guys... this summer I am planning on installing a CC503 with all the supporting valvetrain components. Lets say i get all the parts together...
Can anyone recommend a good quality shop in southern california that isn't outrageously expensive?

hahaha thanks for the tips guys, i might be considering it. I mean, i'm pretty mechanically inclined, but ive never attempted a job like this before.
with all the proper valvetrain components, what kind of special tools will i need?

^^^I pulled my whole motor with those 3 tools and a 96 piece craftsman kit haha there really isn't much to it! Getting it done is easy, getting it right takes patience and lots of smoke breaks

I have all these tools minus those three mentioned above... does pulling the motor make the whole job easier or would it be easier to do that with the motor in?

Dude, it's not that hard to do a cam. I never did one before, and it didn't take me that long. You should also build yourself a hub installer.

If you still want a shop to do it (they are going to charge you out the a$$) I know a pretty good corvette shop up here, but my vote is to do it yourself.
