Hi All, I have purchased a Lunati Cam kit and was wondering if anyone is interested in helping me fit the required parts as i don't have all the skills or tools to fit them myself but am wanting to learn the process.
I have brought a proper valve spring tool but need help doing it if possible.
I am willing to pay anyone who is able to assist in fitting the cam, valve springs and underdrive pully i have.

I'm a little bit time-poor at present, but may be in a position to assist in a couple of weeks. It will take a good day to get it changed over - well less, but you'd need to put an entire day aside in case of any issues.

Be sure that you have everything you'll need - cam, springs, pushrods, new crakshaft bolt, longer bolt to reinstall balancer, loctite, high-temp orange / red gasket goo, ARP cam sprocket bolts, ARP cam cover bolts, oil, filter, gaskets (timing cover, crankshaft, waterpump), a few spare valvelocks - get them from Holden - and anything else listed in the 'how-to' below.

Have you read / downloaded this:- http://www.ls1howto.com/index.php?article=23

See how you go, if anyone else might be able to assist and if a date is set, I may be able to get there.

cheers
