The cam you literally slide in. Make sure the big lobes have assembly lube smothered on them. When you put it back in make sure the dots on both sprockets of the timing chain line up and put her back together.

what cam are you installing? the best way is ALWAYS to degree it. that makes sure what you have is right to the specifications of what the cam card says, and makes sure it is installed right. degree wheel, dial indicator etc..

with a cam like that, and alphabet cams alot of people just stick it in and go and thats fine but if it were me i would degree it just to make sure. you never know if all the other variables are correct. timing marks, sprocket on crank etc..

Make sure to get a puller for the harmonic balancer, if not that could put a hault to your project.....
