cam and heads parts list. do i have everything?
well as some of you know i am getting ready to do my cam and head swap. i am just wanting to make sure i have ALL the parts before i tear into it. here's what i have. please let me know if i am forgetting something.
sealed power complete gasket kit #2601865
remflex header gasket
mopar rt+10 cam
mopar double roller timing chain and mopar tensioner
stage 8 header bolts
cam lube
felpro head bolts
oil and filter
2 gallons antifreeze
now, i have not got the heads yet, but i am going with the 2.02's from clearwater with the .600 lift springs. and gonna re-use my hs 1.7's, since they have less than 10k on them.and still checking into a new torque conv. probably do it at the same time. with a transgo shift kit.

I had a bad bearing when I pulled my cam, I think due to some FOD that got in between the bearing and the jounal. Wasn't that bad of a change. The only one you really have to pray about is the last one in the back, gotta pull the engine to get that one out.
The cam bearings aren't that hypersensitive, you just go slow when pulling the cam and support the weight of it. Same for installation. Assembly lube will help cushion a minor "thunk". My advice is to get some all thread about 18" long (can't recall the correct size right now, take the cam bolt to the hardware store and match it up,) so that you can leverage the first journal to journal removal. After that, holding the cam is easier, remove the all thread and slide it out. You'll need to pull the radiator, but not the AC condenser to get the cam out.
Another option is to use some rope to act as a sling. Go back to the last 4 cylinders and snake the rope under one of those lobes and hold both ends of the rope up while you back the cam out. As soon as the cam bearing back out of the cam tunnel, the cam will want to fall, so be ready. Stop and rest your nerves when you get to each bearing on the camshaft. LOL
