    Cam install ?

    I got a magnum stg 2 the other day and the instructions said i had to press the cam gear flange off the stock cam and press it on the magnum cam. How would i go about doing that. With a hydraulic press right? Is there anything else that i should look out for when i do this?
    I also heard that i might need shortened valve guides b/c its a copy of the web cam 479 i believe. That true?
    Thanks

    I had the old Hot Cams and had to do the same thing.Put cam in freezer and heated up flange. I bought a new cam gear flange and jacked up my truck and lowered it on my cam to press it on(ghetto press). Its been 4 years and the cam is perfect.

    Haha whatever gets the job done huh? How hard was it to keep the flange straight when you pressed it on?

    No problem, it didn't even seem to take that much pressure.
