It is theoretically easy, except I think all the gears that "fit" an H-series engine require cutting the covers. This can turn a 30-min job into all day. ymmv...

 

sawzall makes everythign faster

i have a customer with aem cam gears and they clear the stock valve cover fine.

not sure about my str ones though, i've had a chopped off cover too long to remember

 

i wouldent really say its easy. I dont know about you guys but i friggin hate resetting the timing belt. Especially with the damn auto tensioner. That in itself is an all day project. Make sure your cam gears came with cam keys

Here's a a quick how to guide. http://repo.jackmoves.com/album158
I think its on a B, but im sure the procedure is similar on the H
hope this helps
-B

 

so all I have to do is put it at TDC and mark the tdc on the timing belt, and do a half turn on the tensor bolt to loosen the belt alittle, then loosen the bolt on the cam gear then use the stock cam gear mark with the new cam gear them reinstall the cam gear with the mark return the tensor bolt back to tight the belt and thats it right?

 

Bump is this right?

 

sounds about right. try turning the engine manually a couple times and make sure everything is lined up still.

 

anyone know if its hard to do the MOON-CUT for the cam gears.. so they are visible??
