I came home from my college visit to see two boxes sitting on my front porch. Opened them up looked at them to make sure there were no damages to them ect. I go to the local auto parts store to go get come break in oil and just some other odds and ends. I come home to find that someone decided to take out the cams look at them and leave them out on my work bench, so i don't know which one is left and which one is for the right. Is there any way to figure that out? or is it not that big of a deal?
Thanks

 

one is longer than the other, the longer one is for the passanger side i think...but its no big deal b.c one you get the VC off you can see that way.

 

ya when you pull one out match it up and just install the same one at least you have two diffrent sized sones some people get two of the same

 

Thanks guys! switching these out shouldn't be that tough if i'm right, just a matter of getting everything out of the way. Right? or is there some super secret procedure that I have to follow

 

getting to the cams is the hard part. gotta remove alot of parts and you gotta pay attention to detail and take your time. only torque to spec the cam sprocket bolt nothing else. the cam bearing caps need to be tightened in a special sequence, use a zip tie to hold the cam sprokets on the chain so you dont loose timing, and you need a cam wedge too.

 

Yeah I plan on taking quite a few pictures, and writing everything down. my Cam wedges should be coming in the mail soon I hope, I was surprised that they didn't arrive the same time that my cams did.

 

How much more power do you plan to get with the HO cams? Also, what kind did you get and where did you pick them up?

Probably take a hit on fuel economy, but that's part of the price.

 

there is only one kind of HO cam. and they are good for 20-30hp to the tire depending on other mods.

 

somebody else mentioned this, but thunder what kind of difference did you see in economy when you switched to HO cams?

 

not a clue, worse if anything b.c i keep my foot in the floor board constantly now. i dont bother counting mpgs b.c i know its terrible so why get more depressed. when i did my roadtrip i got between 18-19 on the highway but in the city romping around through stop lights its between 12-15 lol.

a half tank i can get 150-160 miles on the highway.
