the time has come... dun dun dunnnnnnnnnn

I am installing my cams next weekend. Just ordered the timing chain wedge from anthony05...

a couple of things... does anyone have a valve spring compressor for sale? or if anyone has one i can borrow, i will pay shipping both ways plus a rental fee...
if so, pm me

also... i know there is probably a write up for the cam install on here, or a few... but i would like to get a few points of view. if anyone can send me some links... that would be awesome.

oh yeah... and the 4.10s were installed this afternoon... im taking it through the break in cycles... even though i havent jumped the gun... i can tell a major difference.

Yo Ho, Lord Helmet, Amazon my Lord!

Yeah, go figure, amazon has some of the cheapest prices I found (very quickly and not throughly) on the ford spring compressor.

That amazon link is for a 2 or 4 valve head. The 3 valve OTC tool is still on back order until Feb 9th from what they told me. If you can wait until mine shows up I'd gladly let you use it free of charge...just pay shipping.
