Very nice writeup! That actually looks less complicated than I had assumed.

Its just attention to detail and knowing what you are doing. I've done several and I've only seen one go bad. A set of used 212X cams were installed without lash caps and I'm sure you can imagine how that went.

You will have to make a drive to Nebraska but yes I will help you. The HO cams alone add 20hp.
