i got a COMP CAM, and i was wondering, is it really hard to install?? i mean garages say 6 hours, MAN! thats alot of time to install a piece of equipment, anybody know how to do it, its a camshaft not a gear...i need help thx

 

Buy a manual is the easiest way. You are gonna need a good set of tools and some basic car knowledge though.

 

coool...where do i buy a manual??

 

The best is the FSM- $100 (full sevice manual) from the dealer, but if you know a little about cars and take you time a haynes or chiltons- $20 will do the job. Any autoparts store should have the haynes and chiltons

 

and they have FSM for each car, or is it a general kind of manual???

 

It is the book that the dealer uses to fix your car, it is specific for each car.

 

alright thats coool man, im gonna prolly buy it, i mean it costs 500 bux to install, thats lot of money, and 6 hours! 6!! thats soooo f*#$#king long hahaha...thx for the info im gonna c if i can do it...u think its a hard installation??

 

A cam install really isn't that bad. It'll take a good part of the day to do. You have to take apart the passenger side of the engine. Timing belt, power steering, front engine mount, torque struts. While you are in there depending on the miles, replace the timing belt, tensioner, and water pump, Maybe add a cam gear, and UDP.

 

the mechanic said it would take 6 hours...he looked it up on the computer and said it would take 6 hours, now that it says 6 hours there, they will purposely take 6 hours hahaha...dont u think thats alot of time for installing a camshaft???

 

I never tried but i herd you can jack the right side of the motor and take the battery out and you can slide the cam out that way.
