cam installation question

Postby 16bit » Tue Apr 14, 2009 7:31 pm

just wondering what I should expect to pay for cam, cam gear with cam cover mod and valve spring installation? Is there a round about figure?

No idea, but since you have an NB, factor in a new set of shims as well...

I never said inner shim kit. whether you need that depends on your cams (particularly the lift). But since the lifters are solid you will need a shim of some description to take up the tolerance errors.
