Default new Parts......should I install them myself?

Hey guys I got a new cam and pushrod set up today. I put my old cam in and it took a day for me to do it. Do you think it is worth 300$ for a local shop to install it? Im just to lazy now

If you have the know-how, enjoy it and/or are hard-up for cash...do it yourself!

$300.00 is a cheap price not to have to slide out the steering rack to get at that damper bolt. If I was thinking, I would have installed a two piece timing cover. Maybe next time hehe.
