What should I replace before this cam install?
Im about to install a XE 224/230 cam kit from Combination Motorsports. The kit comes with the 1.6 RR's, springs, locks and retainers. Im also getting new pushrods and a new timing chain. I know that Im gonna have to get the computer tuned also. Is there anything else I may need to look into while doing all this?

The whole kit comes with any XE grind you want, the 1.6 CC Pro Mag RR's, .600 lift valve springs and locks and retainers for $589. Good *** deal!

Get new serpentine belt, check your hoses, waterpump, and opti.Do new plugs and wires if needed.
