I pull the cams. You might be able to do it without, but if you have never tried it before, just pull the cams. It’s not hard. ---

cams should come off easily, take the valve cover off and u will prolly be able to figure it out no problem. when i did it on my z it was just the half circle clamps that went over the top and pull em out. just remember when u put em in to try ur best to put em in close to the same way u took em out. ---
