some advice on the the cam install
pay close attention, foot pounds and inch pounds are used often, its easy to get mixed up
if you go with the hotcam you will have to disassemble your stock cam and gear to remove the decompresser and cam towers... take a few photos and post them (if you dont mind) of how the stock decompresser is installed, and wrap it with some electrical tape to hold in place so you can re and re it without making any mistakes... it happens all the time....be carefull that you dont "erase the A" on the cam tower... this will make sense to you when your in there... but there is an A molded into the casting on top of the cam tower, you will be using it to setup the valve timing on install... its easy to mount the cam tower in a vice and beat the stock cam out with a hammer, and chew the A off in the process
I recomend a 1 ton benchtop press to remove the gear from the stock cam
make sure you have some good cleaning solvent handy like bra-clean or somthing that will clean any oil film off the stock gear and your new cam before you " glue" the gear on ....
you could bring it to me and I will do the work for you for a bottle of whiskey, and some laughs around the fire... its a 4 hours job from start to finish...
