Just got my cams (bought a stock set from Muggs waaaaay back and then sent them to Colt Cams), they look awesome and can't wait to get them my Celica! These are just their mild performance set. Geoff said It'd be a kick in the a$$ around 3K.

ok so, here are some pics i had zac take for me with my phone during the install.

a pic of his engine bay, once i got the valve cover off.



his motor had recently been rebuilt, and the valvetrain looks just as it should, nice and clean:



his mechanic had "painted" the valve cover, but it was a pretty crappy job:



exhaust cam out:



before i pull the cams, i check all the existing clearances between the cam/shims, and note them all, and keep everything in order on a sheet of cardboard or in this case, masking paper..lol



here is what a stock bucket and shim combo look like out of the head:



here is a pic with the "helper shim" that geoff sent with the cams installed.
the paperwork he sent showed that they took off between .015-.020" off each cam lobe, so the helper shims are each .015".



the helper shims were a VERY tight fit in the buckets, i actually had to sand a hair off each one around the outside to get them to pop into each bucket smoothly without binding and bending them.
