Default F22 and cam shaft

A friend of mine owns an accord 95 and he is planning to install a cam shaft into his F22 engine.

Is it nacessary to add or replace other parts in the engine if he is going to install the cam shaft?

If he is replacing because something was wrong... maybe...
...but if he is doing something to get extra horsepower... it should be a process of installing... ..checking your timing and... that's it!!!
BTW... if for performance reasons, too powerful cam shafts could damage the springs and valves within a few weeks..... ....then... all that would need to be replaced as well....

i dont think any aftermarket cam for the f22 has high enough lift and/or steep enough ramp angles to necessitate aftermarket valvesprings...but i could be wrong.

other internals (valvetrain) would only need to be replaced if he removes the rev limiter and plans on revving higher. BUT it's better to be safe than sorry
