Subject: who should install ho cams for my 4.7?
IP: Logged

Message:
Is it a consensus many dodge dealerships will install the ho cams on my 4.7 dak? I talked to some dopy service parts guy and he didn't know really what I was talking about and said "we don't do that here". I live in L.A. and am looking for a reliable place to have this done. I'm going to talk to a few other dealerships but I was wondering if anyone knew of a reliable mechanic I can have do this for me here in L.A.
I really would like to do this but I don't want some shammy place messing up my new engine.

The HO cams are just stock cams on the 2002 HO Jeep and are legal in California. Most performance shops that sell performance parts can install the cams. At least that's the way it is in Northern California. Look in the yellow pages under Automotive, sub-category Performance Parts.
The cams are $58.00 a piece but I can remember the dealer.

Damn. Someone help us out.

Also, I didn't buy the intake either, sucks.

Click on swapping camshafts by Grady Cowardin. Its not that hard, esp if you have a friend help you remove the valve covers.
Email me at qwikkota@yahoo.com if you have any questions.
