Cam swap...what else should I do?

COramprat · May 6, 2005

I have the Comp XE262H cams sitting in my livingroom and have a couple of questions. My car has 133K miles on it. I did get a suggestion to replace the valve stem seals. I'm going to get new valve springs for the swap but what else would anyone suggest I do? I just want to maintain reliability...not really build up the engine other than cams right now. What should I look for when I pull the valve covers as far as problem areas?

What made you decide to change the springs? I take it the mileage?

Yup....don't want to float a valve.

Do yourself a favor and do valve springs now and avoid problems
later lol.

Check the condition of the cam chain tensioners. With that many miles, the tensioners are bound to be worn. The guides are made of plastic. Just a thought...I did not have to replace mine @ 50,000 miles but you could see the obvious wear and tear.

I would think maybe to replace the whole motor. Are you at the airport right now?

Huh???

I'm not having any problems by any means. I just want to do anything I should while I have the covers off.
