Help With Cam Install I got a new cam and install kit. Looks like the guy that was gonna help me fell off the face of the earth. I live in Rochester, NY which is upstate. If anyone knows someone good that can help me install this, it would be greatly appreciated. I'm looking to get this done by spring time.

Dude if you need to talk with someone there is a shop in your area, New Era Performance. I think they will install it for less then $500 maybe even $400 forgot what it was. It would help to just go there and talk to one them. Check out the link on the sponsor list....

I've been doing some reading on the whole install and stuff but I'm just afraid of messing something up. I would feel more comfortable if I had someone that has done it before to help out. If things don't work out with someone, I'll end up doing it alone.

there 57,408 members on this board. your not too alone, im positive if you have any problems you'll get quick responses. It seems like there is alot of people doing their own cam installs and plenty of them chime in when someone post up they have a problem.
I am seriously considering doing my own too to save cash. And im not the most mechanically inclined person. Im not worried if i run into problems because I know I can either find a solution on the board or someone will give me help when i post.

Grab your sack and do it. Remember..........cleanliness is next to godliness.
First time I did a cam install I was scared to death. After it was over it wasnt that bad at all. You can do it, be patient. If you get frustrated take a break and come back later.
good luck
