I'm officially cammed I just finished up my cam/spring install last night (Patriot 226/226 w/comp 918's). It was my first cam install and I was working by myself so it was a long weekend of wrenching, but everything turned out fine. Two biggest PITA parts were probably pulling the radiator out and re-installing the oil pump. Besides that everything went pretty smoothly. I do have a video of the initial startup, which I'll try to get up this week. Nothing really groundbreaking here, but none of my friends are really into cars and I'm pretty pumped about it so I had to tell someone.

That's what you got your online buds here for, to talk cars.
Congrats on a nice little accomplishment!
