426 stroker cam questions

[randallp1]

I JUST BOUGHT A STROKER CAM WITH THE BEARINGS, GEAR AND CHAIN. I WANT TO CHANGE IT MYSELF INSTEAD OF BRINGING IT TO MY MECH. WHAT GASKETS DO I NEED, AND DO I NEED TO TAKE THE CYLINDER OFF? PLEASE SOMEONE GIVE ME SOME TYPE OF PROCEDURE. ALSO TO CHANGE THE CAM CHAIN DO I NEED TO PULL THE FLYWHEEL?

You should be able to reuse the valve cover gasket.No you dont have to pull the flywheel but your clutch basket will need to come off.So will your chain tensioner.The cylinder and head do NOT have to come off to replace the cam.This job is pretty much straight forward if you have an idea of what your doing.otherwise get a manual or take it to a pro;)

Yes you will need the clutch side gasket.

Its always good to use new gaskets even though i have admittedly reused gaskets if they came off intact.But surely you dont want to pick up any bad habits,its just not right:D
