Cam shafts is finally in!

Spent the whole day, or rather more than 11 hours at Powershop today to get my Evo 8 MR cam shafts fitted in. Was at Powershop since 10.30am, after getting the marine clamps for the samco hoses. Alex was suppose to get it done in the morning but his wife who is pregnant need to visit the doctor.

Instead Leong and Ivan dismantle the engine block and other parts linked to it first and leave it till Alex is back to do the springs since he's the only one that has experience in doing cams.
Leong and Ivan have not changed cam shaft before but from what I see, it's rather easy. Only thing is to be precise and not be careless, in case of any parts that might fall into the engine block, then that's it!

Anyway, did hang around and helped out abit and see how they get it done, learning a few tricks and asked some stuf regarding the engine. But most of the time is sitting in the office chatting with who ever is in the office and ,anaged to took a few shot naps as well since I didn't sleep much since last night and had to wake up early in the morning to run some errands.

Finally everything is fixed up at around 9pm. And it's way beyond their working hours but then they're used to it anyway.
Everything seems fine and the engine is running smoothly for now. Need to let the cam shafts, springs and retainers run abit before giving it a full throttle to test out the performance.

So now is to pussy foot and not step on the pedal to hard and rev too high. Slowly and steady does it! ;)
