nope. My friend did most of the installation, and all he did was slap on the cams, and did the Valve Adjustment to the right settings. No problem to this day, and goin strong.

install cams to manuf. specs., idle for 20 min, cool down motor, drive for about 100 miles or so, check valve lash-adjust if nec., drive happy for a bit more and re-check valve lash every so often...
