How do i go about locking the cams?

Actually this one is not one of my cars. Its for a old forum member (who I will not name) who is on a tight budget.

Yes I recommended it to him, no, as long as it is not leaking or obviously failing he will not do it or the clutch even though it is this far apart.

We all have our limits as to what we can afford. He has set his.

Start with this: http://www.imsretrofit.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/imsretrofit.pdf

You are going to need some special tools (cam locks, TDC pin, etc.) in order to do this, and you need to follow the above instructions to the letter except for pulling the bearing, which I would also strongly recommend doing as well as you will be 80% of the way there when you stop otherwise.
