    Hey fellas, just looking for some advice from those in the know.

    Should I buy all the tools and attempt this myself? (never done before) or just pay for the professionals to do it!!!!

    Thanks for any advice, berms.

    Yeah thanks Dave - would be a big learning curve up to now only ever done oil and filter changes, pipe swaps and rejetting carby.....  I have a manual on the way (if the useless fuckers at the dealership can ever get my order in since before Xmas).

    Does anyone know off hand or have a complete list of the tools required? I'm guessing that those BMF bolt cutters will be first on the list as I have the S&S pushrod kit.

    Berms, if you go to the workshop general section and read through Scotty's "Cam Swap Day" threads he has listed all the tools and part number you will need. It is also better explained than the worksop manual.

    PM sent as well

    Thanks Dave - I have read through Scotty's awesome tutorial, just thought some things may be different from the TC88 to the TC96"?
