I am getting ready to order some cams from VT. I was wondering if anybody had any words of widsom about the install. I was also wondering if anyone had any problems getting their engine to TDC?
Cam install
- Thread starter WashburnGT
- Start date
Use White-Out to mark where the cam sprockets are suppose to be aligned before taking them apart.
TDC is easy, put the car in neutral and move the crankshaft with a socket to TDC, there's a slot on the crank pulley and markings on the cover.

DO NOT RUN MOTOR UNTIL YOU SPIN MOTOR OVER BY HAND!!!!!I just sold a guy a set of cams and he as many others have did not properly align timing marks and POW P to V. make sure to do a search there is plenty of readily help in the search mode as well as anyone here will be willing to help as well as myself. Good luck !!!!!!!

Got my cams ordered...instal should be pretty easy, we are useing a cam gear tool that holds up the cam gear so we dont have to pull the front cover. And yes, mark the relation of the chain to the cam gears with white out so you ensure its accurate.
