Default Question for those who have changed cams.

When putting the cam journal bolts back in is there some special way to do it. The whole seacond row in on the exhaust side seems to be blocked. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Tommy.

Are you installing spec 2 toda cams. If you are, because of the aggressiveness of the cams, I would really suggest you let the pros handle this one. I say this only because I was planning to install the Spoon head gasket with the spec 2 cams but was unable to because the cams would not allow a decrease in clearence. I believe I am talking about a difference of 0.4 mm. Just something to think about.

I have my stock cams out becaouse I had to change one of the valve adjustment screws. I just can't seem to figure out how to get the seacond row of cam jounal bolts back in there is some type of rod in there obstructing the path.

I don't know VTEC intimately enough to know for sure, but I just had a thought that the "rod" might be the VTEC pin that is actuated by the VTEC solenoid. This is just a WAG.
