Quik Posted March 19, 2006 Report Share Posted March 19, 2006 heads dont have tocome off. pull off covers, losen rockers and remove push rods and spin motor over twice. the lifters should stay up in the retainers. and then if you can get the tool to go in the valley to hold them from falling or take a chance on them staying up for the lenght of the swap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

04CHASE Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 im sure the cam expert's will chime in, but it should run ok until you can get a tune, when i put mine in it took a second but it did finally idle good and never set any codes.

1slow01z71 Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 Random misfires is normal the misfire count will have to be raised so you dont get that all the time. Dont know about the injector circuit deal check all the plugs on the injectors its easy to knock one off or break the plug off an injector. Get a custom tune soon and it should line all that out.

BenKey Posted March 21, 2006 Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 What cam was this - specs? Did you loose a lock, or a retainer? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

trickmob Posted March 21, 2006 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2006 First start It sounded like it always did.Idle was good.We took it for a ride around the block and it was fine.When Iwent to start it again it was ruff. I think it must be a injector mess up.Ill look at it again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
