You can do it!(voice from the crazy guy in the water boy) Look man it's really a piece of cake. The hardest part of the whole thing is putting the headers on. If you've put headers on before you can do this. I'm gonna tell you something I'm 18 years old. I put heads and intake on my car when I was 17. With nothing more than what knowledge I had(never done anything like this before) a manual, and the tech support from this great board! If you have any mechanical ability at all you can do this. The easiest way to put the rocker arms on is with the lower intake off. That way as you rotate the engine you can make sure that you're at the base of the cam cycle(both valves closed) by looking at the lifters when they're both at the lowest point you put the rocker arms on. Well if you have any questions just ask. Good luck man!
