Chapter 113 "Cylinder head"

the relevent sections are scattered through 29 pages, and two special tools are referenced

O0o0o0o0o0oO, thank you so much. I would really appreciate it but do not want to bother you. I'll need the manual anyhow. I would suggest starting a new thread and making it sticky for sometime. Just to make everyone use your efforts.

What camshaft are you throwing in Silversmoke06? Read this thread too for rocker examination:

I was putting the Rmw cam in. Had dinner with jan at like Fish tacos. and bought one finaly. I did not however get the cam in because of that damn tensioner bolt for the cam chain if anyones had experince with that. please let me know or danny will likely be putting it in for me. Lammmmeeeee. I hate wussing out on stuff like this.

And thanks for the above info.

Just use a 4-6 inch extension with a swival breaker bar and you should be good. You could try a universal joint on the end of the extension for clearancing too....it'll break loose.

I installed the same cam a couple of weeks ago. That cam tensioner plug was a *****. Try tackling it from under the car. I used a 3/8" flex head ratchet with an extension, probably 3" or maybe 6". I forget... I was able to torque it using a 3/8" torque wrench with a long extension too. Good luck!

What's the bump for? Or did you finally get your new camshaft in?

I didn't get it yet. Hopefully in the next day or so? I didn't receive a tracking number so if you could re-send it, I'd appreciate it.
