Installing Dev 4

[ten[A]cio[U]s]

Gday,

I recently bought a dev 4 cam off stav and i am going to attempt to install it this week. I have done a bit off reading and i am a little bit confident (plus i have my old man and some mates if a find myself in the poo).

I aquired this off another member in another thread (for an E-series). I was wondering if this is the correct produdure for an AU, or if there is a "How to" for installing it.

crack the 17mm bolt on the front of the camshaft gear, under where the p/s pump was there is a 14mm headed bolt. this is the timing chain tensioner. undo it completly. then you have the fun job of undoing all of the 10mm bolts that hold the rocker gear onto the head and remove. make sure none of the lifters fall out. get a zip tie and put it around the chain and the gear so it can not slip a link. now remove the 17mm bolt all the way and pull the gear off the cam and let it sit inside the head. now it should just lift out.

Also i was told that i will need some shims (i already have these thanks to stav again : ), but... im not too sure where to put them haha.

All input is welcome my friends!

Cheers, Matt.

with the zip tie do that, make sure you have tension on the chain if you undo the tensioner because the links down the bottom of your motor may jump not saying it will but its possible, string the cam gear to the bonnet hook when the bonnet is open!! i did it better to be safe then rebuilding a head like i had to. the shims fit behind your lifters dont know how many you will need speak to stav

Thanks for that mate. Tieing to bonnet it a great idea. I have heared of people using brooms with weight on the end.. i didnt like that haha.

I chose the dev 4 as i want decent mid range with the turbo. Should be a fun ride when its all in :
