Default Anyone with experience?

I am planning on doing my cam swap next weekend.

I have all the parts that I have slowly aquired since buying my car, and have read the LS1howto.com on cam swaps like a priest reads the bible.

My buddy Patrick has done a camswap before but Im not sure if he'll have time or not.

Of course I will provide Pizza and beer/soda.

I live in Poway which is kinda like North of Downtown San Diego.


Any help would be appreciated. Also looking to see if anyone has a valve spring compressor and crank pulley puller.

Cam - 224/112 Comp
Springs - Patriot Gold Dual valve springs
Retainers - Comp titanium
Locks
gaskets
anti seize
lock tight
timing chain

got all that ****.

Would anyone be willing to lend a hand?

Both of those could be rented at autozone. I rented the pulley puller it cost a $20 deposit and it was the 3 arm pulley puller for a chrysler. When do you plan on installing this? I dont have any experience with the springs since i replaced the heads and already had springs installed.
