P.S. my brand new DORMAN electric fans came in the mail yesterday... $150 shipped on ebay... heck the used f body fans were going for around $100 on ebay after shipping so i may as well get something brand new, no dirt road stains, and 1 year warranty! black bear harness should be here any day!

look at the third picture down in this ebay think for the cam... see the nics? are those going to hurt anything? maybe sand the nics down a bit before the install? or just not even worth messing with?

Damn. This is the ONE you bought? The nice thing about Hyd. rollers is milage does not really play a roll as long as all journals are free of nicks and burrs. I would have passed on this cam man. Those nicks looks like it was a result of mishandling vs. damage done while in motor.

Nnnooo.... I didn't buy it... I didn't think it would be good so that's why I was checkin with Yall first... Plus its the one bolt version so is have to buy a cam pulley... I'm planning on buying a new one thur. Just wanted a second opinion on this one cause I could have made a low ball offer but not gonna do that... He would have had to beat that one in with a mallet to get nicks like that... Ordered my pac .600 springs new shipped for $145 yesterday... The rest is cheap petty stuff...

You have to pull the crank pulley to get the timing cover off. This is a good opportunity to install an underdrive pulley. Not a huge gain in power, but every little bit helps, IMO.
Even if you don't go with a UDP, you'll still want to use a new crank bolt.
