All you gotta do is take the radiator and grill/nosepiece off and slide it in through the front of the car. It may not be the quickest way to do it but it works when you don't have an engine hoist. Hope it works out for you.

I got my cam in by removing the radiator, and then unbolting the brackets for the a/c condensor......if you have one, and pulling it up out of the way. Good luck

Good question? do you have to take the a/c condenser out? do you lose your freon? well, not a big deal if you do i guess.

You don't actually have to take the ac condenser out. You just unbolt it and twist it out of the way. It's pretty easy to do. I recommend a long bolt in the end of the camshaft for leverage. And as usual take your time so you don't scratch the bearings.

Crank usage

Either you a) type to fast or b) you have been on crank here recently. LOL. The second part of your question was something about guages?? Can you clarify in normal english? |

well, not really a big deal if you do.......BUT i have an IMACA license and the way i udnerstand it from my class, if someone catches you venting freon into the atmosphere it can be a pretty stiff fine. But like byrnech said....i just unbolted my condenser and left all the hoses and everything else on, and just twisted it out of the way. It was a while ago that i installed my cam, but as i remember it was a fairly tight squeeze to get it in, but it worked just fine by removing the radiator and getting the condensor out of the way.
