How to remove and install a hydraulic flat tappet camshaft. I’m doing it on a Small Block Chevy 355, the cam got wrecked due to lack of oil. I installed a thumpr camshaft from comp cams. When installing a cam shaft make sure you also install required hardware like torque converter and valve springs. I already has updated valve springs and I put a 3200 stall converter in. Enjoy!

I understand there are many different methods to this job that people use. This is how I do it and works.
Thank you for this! This video was awesome. It was the perfect balance of informative, quick, and not too much talking. Sometimes I just want to see how the job is done, and not listen to a KZreadr opine about everything or watch them in realtime as they take all the bolts off by hand. Keep up the great work! Liked and subscribed!

I’m glad you liked it!!
I have seen plenty of these videos but this is the most detailed explanation thank you
I had a performance engine built for me, a 350 with a 6-71 blower and the engine builder accidently used an aggressive cam (the 'wrong' cam, in his own words) and I was told the cam could be changed-out with not too much trouble. Given the video I just saw, it looks like a LOT of work!!!!!
Good job boys ❤
Nice video.
Thank you 🙏🏽
I much would it cost to cam kit swap my 96 Chevy caprice
Great video.. so I need to change out cam in my 1980 sbc 350. I don't know what specs or cam to get. I don't want to get a cam that will force me to change out other items other than what I will need to change like lifters, push rods, rocker nuts. What would be a good cam spec to have a nice rumble but not crazy enough to blow out other parts. Engine is stock. Thank in advance!
