Installed my Cosworth Cams!
Well, I had a couple days before I started my new job so I figured what better to do than install my cams. First off, I don't want to do that AGAIN! haha. I give a lot of props to the shops that can do these installs in 3-4 hours. I would say it took me about 8 hours to complete this install. This was also my first time removing and installing cams. So I took extra time to make sure I was doing things right. I had to make a few runs to Fleet Farm because I didn't have a big enough wrench and the How-To was for an VIII. The IX cams have a much bigger nut to break them lose than the VIII's. Anyways here are a few pictures I took along the way. I stopped taking pictures around midnight because I just wanted to get it done.
So far not to much of a lobe with these cams. I haven't driven it yet. I just started it up twice to make sure nothing blew up.
Let the fun begin!
Access to crank the engine:
Sorry for the sweet angle
Vavle cover off:
Another:
Cam gears disconnected:
Cam angle sensors removed:
Exhaust Cam = Cosworth / Intake Cam = Stock
Stock cams OUT!!!
All buttoned up ready to be started:

not much of a lobe. My cossies have a pretty good bounce to them. We had a hard time keeping the idle right the first time, and then we updated the idle tables in Ecu flash so that we could get the idle right.

Nice job on doing Cams yourself i was planning on doing them on my EVO as well i got all the tools but i work on Range Rovers everyday i kinda get tired of working on cars. But anyways let the fun begin!!!! (MID-RANGE POWER BABY)

I haven't really ripped on the car since the install. I need to change my oil soon as well.
My stock idle was at 500ish rpms. We bumped it up closer to 800.
