how tricky is it to install a cam?!

[250sprayboy06]

i ordered a hamilton cam an ive always really put all my own stuff on an i was wonderin how difficult it is to install one. i heard you have to take the hole front part of the motor out to get to it. (radiator,intercooler, ect.)

yes also heard that, most likely it would not be for someone like me always just seen people who do it every day do it

It's not rocket science but it's not super simple either.
You'll have to remove the raditor, intercooler, AC, PS cooler, pretty much tear down the whole front of the engine, take the top end of the motor pretty much apart, dowel up the lifters, pull the cam, press the gear off, put it on the new cam and reassemble the whole thing.
