(with basic mechanical knowledge)and if so does antone have photos or a write up on how to install these. and is there a certain way to put them in eg: like the old dizzy's.the cams he has are not crow cams its from a company from WA which they say there is no stages but will increase power ?????? cheers in advance Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68585-installing-cams/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it to a good mechanic to have it done. Link to comment https://www.fordxr6turbo.com/forum/topic/68585-installing-cams/#findComment-1013327 Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an unbeleivable help... as long as you use someone who inderstands timing, you're sweet, but you'll be in need of a tune anyway.
