[QUOTE="mustangman36578, post: 9276376, member: 66089"] im installing a larger cam on my buddys 95 cobra and had a few questions. im a lot more familiar with the modular engines than the 302 5.0L and was wondering what bolts/gaskets need to be replaced. is the crank bolt and camshaft bolt torque to yield or is it ok to reinstall the same bolt? also for the timing chain cover and valve cover gaskets will rtv be fine or should he find replacement gaskets? he will be using new intake gaskets. last question is for removing the lifters can you reach them or do you need to use a magnetic stick to reach them? i will be measuring the cam bearings and lifter bores with a dial bore guage and the new cam and the lifters with a micrometer to make sure everything is in spec. but do you guys recommend replacing anything else? also do you guys recommend using a heavy weight oil or moly engine assembly lube for the cam journals and lobes, push rods, lifters, timing chain, gears, and rocker arms? i was thinking assembly lube on the journals, lobes, and distributor gear and then a heavy weight oil on everything else. thanks.
