Hey bro couple quick questions. Is this a usdm or jdm engine head? What brand of cam is this? Did you use after market valve springs? are you using adjustable cam gears? did you have to use a degree wheel to adjust cam using gear? Did you initially have to amchine the head to accommodate the stage two cam? really appreciate your feed back.
do you think it may be posible to upgrade cams without removing the engine? once I changed my gasket valve cover but I didn't know about cams upgrading and I didn't take a look on them
also I would like to ask if you tested with your new set up, any reviews
Use denatured alcohol on the gasket surfaces. Also, torque wrenches aren't overly accurate at that little torque. I would have just started with the inch lbs wrench and stuck with it.
DUDE! You must check all the cam buckets with a feeler gauge to make sure all are in specification the cams came with a data card: http://www.briancrower.com/makes/subaru/cam_card/bc_0621.pdf see the line that says valve clearance. You must obtain that number by measuring and changing buckets as necessary to get the proper clearance. Or you could waste your entire motor with metal filings from wear caused by improper clearances. It means torque the cams, measure, remove, change buckets, install again, torque, measure again. ALWAYS USE NEW BUCKETS WITH A NEW CAM.
hard to trust a non digital torque wrench
I just installed mine and I think my I messed up

Are these just a drop in with a turn or would I need to upgrade some other stuff in the engine?
Did you need to clearance the heads to get the 272's in?
Too bad the 272 lob cam is stage three
What cams do you guys recommend for a 2010 subaru impreza wrx 2.5T?
5:04….
The caps are marked from the factory
You didn't measure valve lash at all. You also should be replacing buckets (ideally all of them) used buckets on new cams is a no-go.
what brand cams are those? BC's?
Did you measure your valve lash after the install?

Upgrade the intake or exhaust valves ? Or just stock head upgraded cams ?
