If you replaced the camshafts on the s2k, whould you have to take the whole engine out? Thanks

 

No.

 

what do you have to do when you change it?

 

I don't know enough to give you a step by step for the S, but here are some tips:

You'll need to buy a manual from Helm and follow it, and the camshaft manufacturer's directions explicitly.

You'll need to carefully inspect the machining on the aftermarket camshafts for smoothness or pitting

You'll need to carefully inspect the roller rockers and other parts for wear patterns before you reuse them. You may want to use new bolts from ARP or Honda although I think this is overrated.

You'll need to have the engine at #1 Top Dead Center before you begin.

You'll need to plastiguage the new cam to ensure that it fits properly

You'll need to apply the (should be) supplied camshaft lube to the cam journals and lobes.

You'll need to "degree" the cam using a special tool called a camshaft degree wheel to ensure that it is properly located.

You'll need to ensure that you adhere to all torque specs., tightening methods and tightening patterns.

You'll need to break-in the car again.

Hope this helps.

 

thanks a lot, you were a big help
