be careful with the journals pulling cam out and putting new one in. lube the crap out of the new one with assemly lube before installing. theres a crossmember that will have to be cut in order to clear the cam gear. either that or lift the motor up enough to clear it. make sure timing marks are lined up correctly when reinstalling. 00 to 0 from crank to cam. injection pump gear dosnt matter on a third gen. break in is 15 min @ 1500 rpms. you will enjoy the helix 2. one of the best mods i did to my truck.
