Once the heads are off, its really only another 20 mins worth of work to get the cam out. I yanked mine about 2 weeks ago, it was my first time, very simple.. I would really consider a blower cam if you do go with new heads.. Maybe get the exhaust ports on the TFS heads ported a bit to get the flow up. So many options, just takes $$$
It was my understanding that you need to take off the fan, balancer, crank/belts, and timing cover. That doesnt sound like another 20minutes to me.
ALL THAT TIME IS ADDING UP!!HairyCanary said:I'd plan on another 1 to 2 hours for the cam. The radiator comes out pretty easy, as does the condenser, but it adds up. The timing cover can be a great big pain in the butt to get off, especially if it's never been off since the factory.
I also would not do the cam without a degree kit. A lot of people just line up the dots, but that's not very accurate, and if you're gonna do it, then do it right. And degreeing the cam will add another hour, probably.
