Re: cams..and what can go wrong? anything is possible.
Just make sure you check your P2V clearance if the cam is big and the heads are milled, and if doing an oil pump, make sure u have oil pressure.
Also, what cam do you plan on using?

Re: cams..and what can go wrong? Two things: when you put the oil pump back in, work that pickup tube in nice and slow and easy, or the O-ring will get pinched, then you have low oil pressure. The other thing is be double damn certain you get the dots lined up on the timing gears . . . or your valves are toast. Oh and BTW, you're not a *****!
