I wish I had just pulled mine. It was a PITA working in there without the engine pulled.

Don't get the cam I got. Go more aggressive. Mine is just a hair more than stock. It runs so smooth even at idle that it's hard to tell it's cammed.

Also might want to invest in a 2 piece timing gear cover. Wishing I did for 2 reasons: 1) swap would be a good hour less if I did it again and 2) that thicker aluminium would probably quiet down the aluminum cam gear.
