I Just bought brian Crower Stage 2 Camshafts, Brian Crower Springs & retainers, and Adjustable Cam Gears and will be receiving them by the upcoming week. I would of gone with Toda racing cams & S&R's but deceded to go with Brain crower's beacause it was a bargain.

Does anybody know how to install camshafts, cam gears, and springs & retainers? In the 818 area or near by? I'm asking around and getting quotes. I already asked my other two sr20 forums. I thought I asked here aslo since most of you guys go SR20DET.

United is a bit far from him. Sherman Oaks to OC is damn far. I heard good things about Milano Auto for parts, don't know about installs. They're in sun valley. Maybe you could give them a call. http://milanodrifting.com/ is their website. Never used em though.

yup, should change to metal head gasket while you're at it. it'll make things easier. ras is a must.

g-dimension in industry is my recommendation to you.

Yeah thats what I was told not an easy task. I ordered a Cometic 1.1mm, 86mm MHG, Greddy Cam gears, and Greddy Rocker Arm Stoppers. the Specs on the BC Stage 2 cams are:
Duration: Int:264, Exh: 264
Duration @ .50": Int: 216. Exh: 216
Valve Lift (inches): .475", .475"
Valve Lift (mm): 12.06, 12.06
Valve Lash (inches): .000'', .000''

Hello ,you should have just went with a greddy MHG,dont get me wrong cometic works,but it does not tolerate poor machining & its recomended to surface the block also when using COMETIC. Based on the lift I would suggest upgading the springs also,just to be on the safe side & provide a bit of margin. Honestly IMO ONLY,hold on to the parts you have then maybe get some more upgrades & just pull the motor do some maintainence R & R, & the top end refresh all in one shot. PEACE

Oh I see, really I didnt know that has to be done in order to install the cometic MHG. I got springs & retainers also. What other upgrades do you recommend? what is R & R maintenance and Top End Refresh?

Hello ,R&R = Remove & Replace . A top end refresh is basically just rebuilding the CYL head
