3 important tools for a cam swap:
$40 pusher to to put the crank pulley back on(well worth the money).
Vinci/Crane spring tool(does 2 at a time and also well worth the money).
Can of Bush baked beans to remove and install the timing cover seal(well worth the price too and you can eat the beans after you turn the key).

Yes, it drops a tiny bit no matter how TDC you have it. Makes a big difference, I broke off two rocker bolts before I figured it out.
