Checklist what all is needed for a cam swap
metric ratchet set, 24mm socket, new crank bolt dealer item, springs, hardened pushrods, 2 5/16th dowl rods wooden from lowes or where ever.use air or bring the piston up to TDC so that your valves dont drop while changing springs, frluid replacement and that should be all.
new timing chain if you have a lot of miles...
What size hardened pushrods should I get?
7.4 harden pushrods...
And also A CAM!! cant forget that!! :D
I got the cam lol but I only got cam n springs would the pushrods n springs and timing chain only b needed?
