You use a tool that takes place of your valves and you cut reliefs in the pistons to allow for larger lift camshafts.

yes it is a bitch. just finished mine up actualy. I cannot see how anyone can do this with all the ac stuff still on the car as the passenger side is crowded because of it. but the passenger side was a piece of cake.

A right angle battery drill, and it's a breeze!

I'm in the process of doing mine right now... just have #6 & #8 to do yet, but it's about -3ş in the garage!
