“Stock cam plate & pump removed. Note cam, lifters & pushrods are in place. You do not need to remove them, this bike already has an upgraded cam bearing & components.

I don’t always agree with Jamie, but I imagine he has done this enough with good results to make this recommendation. Besides, a picture is worth a thousand words.
That said, you need to note that he says that the bike already has upgraded cam bearing and components. That probably means lifters and pushrods. I would say it depends on how far you want to go and what you are able to spend. If you don’t have the tools to change the cam bearing then you will probably be better off not pulling the cam.
He also doesn’t say whether the pressure on the cam has been relieved by collapsing the pushrods. If you have adjustable pushrods in place that would be a good step to take, I would anyway.
Wasnt going to show this......but I made a simple 2 piece tool and don't touch anything but plate and pump. (Stock cam,pushrods,lifter never touched)I have it down to less than 1.8 to put a pump and plate in. Now if your not paying attention you could break the cam bearing so if
your a first timers....FORGETABOUTIT .....
not getting into specifics but with a little knowledge it's pretty simple. One part is not shown....so u can guess how it works. Lol
heII I don't even pull head pipe all the way .

IN STOCK! We have both of the kits back in stock for Oil and Air cooled.
We have another case on the way so if we run out it will only be 2-3 days before we ship more!
