I am planing on a cam swap this weak end; I am just wondering how log is it going to take me.I am doing cam,springs,timing chain and pushrods.

 

It can be done in a couple hours, but I'd budget the whole weekend if you've never done it before...make sure you get all the tools/parts beforehand

 

Yep. Read the walkthrough very slowly and make sure you have everything you need. It really sucks having to run to ACE/Autozone a few times in the same day for stupid little things like a torx bit for the cam retainer plate.

 

A couple of hours? Where do you guys get these times from? I would say atleast 9 if you know what you are doing, it books out at 13 hrs.

 

agreed 2 hrs is hauling some serious ***.

 

Took me a week working 3-5 hours a night to do heads n cam. Def would not want to jump into this over the weekend and rush myself.
GL and take your time

 

Maby a team of NHRA mechanics could get the job done in 2 hours;I think it's going to end up taking me any were frome 10 to 20 hours.

 

Honey you got the stopwatch ready
Yup
GO!
vroom vroom zoom zoom vroom!
DONE!
Somehow I dout you can do it in 2 hours but iv never done it and im a slow worker when iv never done something before.

 

Depends on your expertise and if you run into any problems. It can take you a half-day or it can take a week. I wouldn't worry about timing, just get it done correctly.

 

Budget at least a weekend for your first and preferable be able to do without that car a whole week incase you find suprizes that require ordering parts. If you get it done faster great. If you need it done by a certain time and it is not that is a much bigger problem.

 

Yeah it would really go faster now that I know my car in that aspect now. my project slowed down when I did not have the right compressor for double coiled springs.
