[QUOTE="joedrum, post: 17374, member: 98"] yeah Vince , Dan I've been wondering to....I've been looking at a lot of info .... I'm not sure it going to make a huge difference but we will see.... so far I've got both cams in ......first took the plugs out they look good and made sure everything was cleaned out first tho.....second took timing covers off and turned to T1 no1 all the way up then turned it 90 degrees so all pistons are halfway down .....third loosen all rockers ....forth took the belts off.....fifth took the pulleys off....sixth took the cam carriers loose and out.....seventh put in 75 cams seals and such.....gut dark and stopped here for the day.... yeah Dan the 75 cams i used were not great looking ....had to take out ridges on cams and one lobe was pitted a bit .....id say the cams are on the fence about being good or bad ....i did the best i could and hoping there within reason for using ....the lift is actually taller on the 1100 cams but the duration is shorter .... yes cams do wear in when new ....but from there its a matter of smoothing the ridges and stuff on rockers and cams to keep them from having edges to cut with and really wear...anyway that's what i think ..... i cant find my feeler gauges anywhere yet .....tomorrow i will time it and put it back together ......yikes it the timing thing i will have to be careful I'm hope it works well ....at first I'm not going to use the the 1000 ignition ...the 1100 ignition is fine ....but i am going to put it on as a cover for the 75 cam as it sticks out .....so maybe ill have it together tomorrow and running ..... :mrgreen: [/QUOTE]
