Congrats Eric, I'm glad you won them . I used motor oil and coated them really good before the install.

Yes, the HO cams are a direct replacement so they do no require lash caps or beehive springs.

yeah, I am excited now... to bad they are only HO cams, but anything is great when nothing is available. lol

Now if i can finish my build this spring, I will be happy...

you bought used cams? not a good idea. make sure they have the correct stamping on them, also one cam should be longer than the other. if they are new, you are good to go. yake your time. i had a engine builder do my cams, 5.5 hrs, thats also dyno tuning. but i also went with the 206.
