SankysVR6 1 Posted January 19, 2006 Report Share Posted January 19, 2006 The only special tools that are needed is a tool to hold the Camshafts in TDC when the work is done, and even then you could use a small peice of metal of the right thickness to hold them.I would do mine myself but i don't know how LOL Link to post Share on other sites
