feasible in the driveway? no brand or models in specific, just seeing how difficult.

how do i time them, ive read alot abotu cam swaps they say all you have to do is remove the valve cover take the gear off and have some one hold it so the chain doesent come of the bottom and then justa put the new cam in

thats pretty much it, but its always good to have a book on hand and check it about10 times before you put it back together..

yea if the heads are stayin on the car and your using a stg 1 cam you dont need to remove anything other than the valve cover. pretty easy if you ask me, ive had mine for 2 years now and never had a problem, just get a good tune and make sure that cam bolt is tight
