    things needed for cam swap

    Well guys I am about to start ordering parts for my cam swap and need some help making sure I have all the parts and tools needed for the swap. I already have the spring compressor, and read this right up from this guy saying you could just use 5/16 wooden dowels instead of buying those $120 ones from thunder racing. I no I need coolent and gonna change oil. What gaskets, tools, and anything else you can think of I need would much be appriecated.

    yea wooden rods will work, you need a tq wrench, and your basic wratchet set and you should be fine like 7mm -18 mm should work. new crank bolt i think its a 24mm anyways that should be it you dont need gaskets.

    Yes you need a crank pully but it has to be very high quality. That pully is tuff to get off.


    EDIT: and get the air fitting for the air compressor so that the valves stay up. If you have a compression tester, just take the hose off that and hook it up to the compressor.
