Camshaft Is the camshaft that is made just for the 3.1L camaro worth the 150 dollars? And how much do they usually cost to be put in and set right? |
The cam is a nice mod.. Expect to spend 200 for installation because any good mechanic will require you replace your timming chain too if you have any miles on your car. I got a double roller for my 2.8 and it is nice.. The Crane 2030 cam, Coyles double roller and comp cams 1.52 roller tip rockers would be a very nice combo for high 15 sec runnings.. |
Only $200 for installation? HEckm it's a mid-level job on your own, but if they'd really only charge that much, it's almost wrth it to hand it over for a weekend. Are you sure labor would only be $200 for a cam? ------------------ Reno '88 Firebird LB8 "Cerberus" Now: rusting on a side street til I get out of college Plans: BUILT 3.4 motor with B&M racing tranny, Hotchkis suspension all around, lowering 1", Accel ignition all around, Splitfire plugs, 88 front bumper, ASCD Ram Air I hood, 91 GTA spoiler, formula wheels, Firehawk tires, restored interior (first on list) |
install it yourself, ive done it on 8s, and its a peice of cake, it can only be easier on the 6 |
Install it yourself? Wouldnt that be about impossible? How did you do it? What would I need? |
i wouldnt reccomend a novice try installing a cam themselves, its really not that big of a job, but if you dont know what your doing, you could easyly screw something up |
Help me out here guys, the original question of mine, is it really that cheap to have it installed? _reno |
Done right NO.. It also depends on what you think is cheap, I think a 250 install is fair.. |
How does anyone ever install a cam for the first tiem if a novice at it should never do it? Cmon have faith in yourselves!!!!! GEEZ, you think i was born knowing about cars?? First thing i did on mine was install headers and a few months later i dove head first into an engine swap. If some slack jawed yokel at the gas station can do this stuff you guys can too. Youll need: Tools, like basic hand tools, ratchets youll also need a harmonic balancer puller which is like 10 bux from the autoparts store a chiltons manual, AND SOME FREAKIN CONFIDENCE! |
