Doing head gasket for the first time this week-remove camshafts?

obsnw · 01-23-2013, 04:55 PM

So I'm doing my research on how to do the sohc ej25 in my 02 TS and only have one last question I just can't seem to find an answer to. I spoke to the machine shop today and asked if I had to remove the cam assy. to get the work done. He says it's not necessary, but because of the bath process I will have to lube the cam and valves. I haven't seen any mention of this, and I know its probably a noob thing to ask, but I don't know how to do that and he gave me the silent treatment. Please help!!!

The machine shop we use prefers, and my preferred method is remove the cam. I like to flush oil passages after the fact just to be sure no metal from resurfacing has gotten in them.
