it has been almost 3 weeks since i finished my project, but couldn't find the time to update the thread.
i will post some impressions, to help those who follow.

so i will pick up where i left.
less then a week after my last post, i received my new bearing.
i put it in the freezer, connected to the installation tool (in a Ziploc bag)

next morning i jumped back in, put the engine at TDC and locked the pulley.
removed the lower cam plug on both banks and made sure the "groove" on the cam is seating vertically.



bank 1


bank2



just for additional reference, i marked the cam on bank 2 with a Sharpie, but i don't think it is necessary.

i installed the cam look tool on bank one, using a 6X10mm bolt i got from Ace.
this step is very crucial. i can definitely see how the tool can be installed without locking the cam.

MAKE SURE THE TOOL IS FULLY SEATED IN THE GROOVE.
