Default Are cams "bolt-ons"?
I know where they are listed on here and that they are listed under "internals" but I a little debate to settle and your votes are duely welcome.

I do not think they should be lumped together with cold-air intakes, catbacks, etc.

I hope no one votes yes.

Anything that's internal in the engine is not a bolt-on. Rocker arms are debatable though. I've never heard anyone say cams are bolt-on. This shouldn't even be a poll.

No. Internal engine work is not a bolt on.

Lol, no joke, that cam gets bolted on to absolutely nothing. The closest it gets to a bolt is the cam gear that attaches to it.

everything is a bolt on, it all depends on how you look at it.
