Just make sure and your buddy know what you are doing. I know of four people who tried it and didn't know what they were doing and destroyed their heads. When pistons start smacking valves all kinds of bad things happen. Doing a cam swap isn't hard, you just have to know what your doing and pay attention to detail. The most time consuming part is just getting to the cams.
As Winston said, the only thing I torque to spec is the timing sprocket bolts. There are inch pound specs for the cam bearing cap bolts but I break them every time I try to torque them to spec. I take them hand tight on a short ratchet.

In my younger days I worked in a garage and have rebuilt engines and trannys but now I think I would rather have someone else do it. That way if something goes wrong I can blame them...lol

If you break one or want to replace them they are metric flange hex bolt M6-1.0x40MM class 10.9. I bought Imperial 15607 as direct replacements.
