If you have problems I only charge $300 for cam and springs. But you should be fine. And if you get in a jam I am sure some one on here will bail you out. Good luck!

Its a GREAT write-up. It took me five days to finish the install, but that was working very slowly making sure I did everything perfect and with a ton of set-backs and food breaks.
