Default Head/Cam install.. need a full write-up please.

Anyone have a full write-up on how to do a complete heads and cam install? I know the basics but don't want to leave anything out. I bought a daily driver so I could take my sweetass time too <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" /> Any tips on special tools I should look into? Thanks- Mike W.

Thanks alot TA2001. Those are exactly what I am looking for. Great write-up's.
BTW: would that happen to be your car doing the cam swap? It said it was being done on a 2001 TA so I thought I would ask. Thanks again- Mike Wells.

I took a ton of pictures when I did mine. They are all off my website. No major special tools. Just have fun with the balancer. A normal three jaw puller can get the stock one off. Putting it back on you may want to find some threaded rod and devise a way to get it on there. Beyond that a good torque wrench or two (one in ft/lb and one in in/lb).
