I wonder what the layout looks like? If you were closer, I'd come by just to check out the collage...

Average cam swap takes 6hrs . . . drive in to drive out. That's with lunch, and a few breaks.

My fastest was 4hrs, but that was on my truck.

Everything comes off easier when the engine is nice and hot . . . . I'm talking straight off the freeway, hot engine, hot trans . . . doesn't matter.

I'm gonna be doing my first cam swap in a couple weeks im pretty excited about it actually lol. I do alot of research and learning before i jump into anything and over the years ive developed a pretty good knowledge of vehicles and engines in general so im confident it won't be problem especially with the ls1howto write up. quick question though what is the preferred method for holding up the lifters for those who've done it?
