wow weed, this is the best cam writeup i have ever read... now i know i can do a cam. you may have just bumped it up on the list...
whats with the green antifreeze?
and how come you didnt put on a new timing chain while you were in there? what is involved in doing that?
again, thanx for the writeup man

This is the absolute best cam writeup out there. I have read every one that I have been able to find and this one is the most detailed and accurate that I have seen. This is getting printed, laminated and put in my toolbox for when it comes time for me to take a stab at a cam install.
Ok I read the whole thing and I have 3 questions..
1) Do you need the OEM balancer puller? I have a few triple hook pullers like that laying around, will they not work at all?
2) How much does the guy on dodge talk sell the valve tool for?
3) whats the chance of a lifter falling back down before the new cam goes in and blocking the way?

definitely the best writeup i've ever seen for a cam. i guess i need to study it some more because some of the terms and stuff still seem a little fuzzy. i've always wanted to do a cam swap, but never had the ballz to rip apart the guts of the hemi for fear of screwin it up. this has given me a big boost of confidence. i might consider it this summer.
