Title: Cam removal
Post by: KenC on October 22, 2007, 11:52:21 AM

So I need to remove my cams before I can get the head pressure tested.  I've never done it before.  Is there anything special that I need to do?  Can any one give me a quick walk through?
Thanks,
Ken

remove it in a uniform fasion (kindof link loosening headbolts). the cam might break if you take of the bearing caps from one side off, before loosening the otherside (front, and rear).
