camshaft install

[vesper]

never took my cam out do i have to take the 8mm nuts off the valves.
what bolts do i need to remove to take the cam out.

when u remove th cam the only bolts u should have to remove are the bolts on the bearing caps which i believe are 10 mm, then the cam should just lift out, DONT remove the nuts over the valves, u should really just get a manual and follow that tho

nah i see it. looked kinda like you had to remove them though. i got a sohc cam to replace the si cam. but for some reason it doesnt sit all the way in the berings. on the end of the si cam where the gear is theres a groove in the cam going inwards.
and a groove on the head comeing out wards.
the zc cam doesnt have this.
now do would by any chance if i brought the head to have this grooves shaved down would the cam work?

the bolts you are refering to are the lifter adjuster bolts (to eliminate clicking valves, and determing proper valve lift.

the lifter component can be removed as a set by removing the cam seat.

Don't play with the adjusters on the lifters unless you plan on changing your cam with a different one OR want to retune the motor.
