FINALLY! got it off had to severely loosen the PS, all the injectors and coils removed and a little motivation and it finally came. Hopefully the cams are as easy as everyone says they are, but with my lucky dodge probably thought it was a good idea to just weld them in there to make sure they didnt come loose

Wish I saw this earlier... a homemade fuel line disconnect tool can be made out of the thin neck plastic bottle like a dry gas bottle or STP fuel treatment bottle. Cut about a one inch section from the bottle neck around the size of the fitting. Cut a slit all the way up thru the section and make a slight taper to the two edges of the slit. Takes a little fiddling and trimming of the plastic but the idea is to slip the plastic inside the spring that holds the fitting together inside and twist the "tool" while tugging on the connection a bit. Works on AC lines too. Dodge, Ford, Chevys.... its universal.

Ok just a little update. I got the Cams in and everything seemed fine... It started up right away let it idle for a bit then took it for a drive and it drove great. So I stopped to go pick up some gas and when I went to restart it, the idle was super choppy and made a loud ticking noise. I drove it out of the gas pump and into a parking spot and then it died on me. I had to get a buddy to tow it back to my house, I got it restarted again but there now is a huge rattle, engine isn't super smooth, as long as a code that says 02 Rich or something along those lines. It will idle fine but if you give it gas when it the RPM's come down it dies... IAC? Help!

did u double check all the stuff to make its tight and if it was me i would pull the valve covers to make sure somthing didnt go wrong just for safety of the engine and the ticking did u replace your lash adjusters if not pretty sure thats what it is 90% of people that did the cam swap and didnt swap them out had issues with them did one collapse completly and causing it to over load the cylinder with fuel giving you a rich o2 code thats by best guess

How big of a deal is it if a rocker fell off? and timing will be checked tomorrow. Is there and specific way I should check it? I think that it would be pretty hard for timing to be off if it ran fine for a bit.
