Default CAM INSTALL

What are the easiest steps to install a cam on an LS1 F-Body.
Pics, sites or just plain posts appreciated.

Oh, and do you have to take the heads off to change springs?

Thats what I used when installing mine ... EXCELLENT writeup. Everything went just as he said, every bolt every torque spec, everything, was dead on (compared to the GM service manuals) ... and very easy to understand.

One bit of advice... I would NOT recommend his spring tool. Especially using the water pump bolt as he recommends. We wound up with a snapped bolt in the head, you can ask rnr27band1. Everything else in his writeup was exactly dead on, however. Good luck!

I agree 1000%. DO NOT use that type of tool. I broke 2 bolts in the head, which added a good 6-7 hours to my install time. I ended up using a regular hand compression type spring tool, which while took alittle longer each spring, paid off since I didn't break anymore bolts.
