Hey guys,
So I have Hot Rod cams on the way, and I've looked at tons of threads, videos, etc, but I still have a question or two.
I've watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sVlS9-C02Q0&list=UL&feature=player_embedded and it seems simple enough, I just wonder about the part at 2:44 where he says to not take the pressure off of the roller followers. From what he's doing it looks like he just removes those parts and all is good, but I've heard from others this isn't the preferred method.
Now, how does he get those back on if the cam is pushing back? Maybe little by little?
Also, the video never mentions turning the crank pulley to 12 o'clock, but it doesn't look like the installer has any problems getting the cam into place and bolted down. From what I remember doing turning it to 12 o'clock puts the least pressure on the roller followers when you remove them, but if you aren't removing them then...what's the point?
