[QUOTE="Beercules, post: 15225164, member: 156123"] Ok, so how do people recommend removing the drivers side cam cover? Trying to do cams myself and the brake booster is in the way. I've tried lowering the k member. ..something won't let it go down far enough (trans mount? ) . I'm trying to move the booster out of the way, can't remove the plastic\metal pin tying the pedal to the master cylinder. Any ideas? Also, when using the ARP fastener lube, do I need to worry about the cam bolts loosening up? Other PITAs so far for people thinking of doing this themselves in their garage, the primary chain is tight enough on the passenger side to make the sprocket very difficult to reinstall. Aftermarket motor mount spacers falling into the kmember (more rattles, need a bmr set up). Cant see, Light placement (like always). Oil running onto header collectors (must be dripping from loose cam covers). Out of shape (this is good exercise though). Anyway, since I haven't found much anywhere online, other than sound clips and ads, thought I'd ask you guys. Thanks Ps, I'm going to get pictures of something I haven't seen mentioned yet. I have a friend coming over to do NDT (dye penetrant) on the sprockets to make sure they haven't cracked during the install...extra peace of mind. [/QUOTE]
