Cam install on an 2.2L LN2
Sunday, August 07, 2005 6:06 PM
To install a JBP cam on a 2.2L does the engine have to be pulled from the car? If not how would it be done?

Also with a new cam are new lifters manditory?

Thanks

it doesn't necessarily have to be pulled out of the car, but in the end run you're better off doing it that way. I haven't done this first hand but the general consensus so far as i've researched is that most people who have done it in the car say they'd rather have pulled the engine after all was said and done. And yes, you should replace the lifters as well. No point in risking scuffing up that nice new cam just to save a few bucks.

it's actually harder to do without pulling the motor so trust me. do it the easy way and the right way. pull it.

To change the lifters as well does the engine have to be completly disassembled?

But then new lifters needs new pushods needs new rocker arms right?
