I just got a set of Skunk2 Stage 2 cams and my mechanic says due to the specs, it'll take him a full day to 'degree' the engine and that I have to pull it out (the engine) and take it to him.

Does this make sense timewise? What is 'degreeing'?

You are talking about to have the cams installed? There is no reason to remove the whole engine????

cam installs take at most a couple hours with hand tools, as far as degreeing the cams, there is a method of doing that for domestic v style engines. the only way to properly degree an over head dual cam is go to the dyno and see where you make and loose power. i think he is trying to rip you off or he just doesnt know what he is talking about.

rip off, these cams are a little crazy but installing cams is easy me and my bro swaped cams in 2 hours just to see if his CRX could go faster with my gsr cams and it did go faster.
