Well just got in a fight with my dad about putting a cam and exhaust on my wheeler he is mad and keeps saying it is going to blow up so now I have to do all the work myslef including jetting. I have minimal mechanical knowledge and cant afford a mechanic I was hoping once my stuff got here you guys might be able to get me set up. I might know someone who can help me with the jetting but I need to get the cam in and make sure the valves are right and everything. How hard is it to install a cam? Can I do it between the step by step valve adjustment guide on here and using the hot cams video? I know where to start with jetting but I might need some help as to where to go after but that will have to wait for the time to come. So think I can do this? Oh and I cant have the dealer do it as he is friends with my dad:rolleyes:

These are what I used when I did my cam the first time.

And this will help when trying to figure out the shim sizes.

Thanks for the links any help I can get is great. Anyone have anything for jetting. I read the thread in the how-to and it helped some. I think I just might be able to get it.
