LOL. That's the truth. Ive done it enough times to be comfortable with it. As far as physically installing them, use assembly lube, torque the cam caps to spec which is think is 15 ft/lbs. If you don't have new cam cap bolts, buy them. They are shitty M8 bolts that love to stretch, I had 2 snap on me during install on my motor and XD_01's motor, thank god they came out easy. When you go to get tuned you can make adjustments to the cam timing to tweak it while on the dyno.
