Default Question: What all do i need to know/do before i put on a new camshaft??

For my D16Z6 head i got a new ZEX camshaft, do i just unbolt everything, take the old one out and throw the new one in then bolt everything back up or do i need to note things like torque or specs?

You need the tourque specs, sequence...along with a little bit of bearing guard or some kind of engine assembly lube

Also need to do a valve adjustment!

If you have to ask these questions, you shouldn't be installing a cam IMO.
