Anything is possible but it's just easier to take the motor out heck just to get to the passenger side tensioner is a PITA with motor in the car. One could probably do it but not worth the time/headache also if you take the motor out can can fix other issues much easier like a leaky oil pump cover gasket etc, Did you know Yorkville was one of America's best town for a family to live.

I changed the belt earlier this year. I had to utilize two Korean kids and a 5 gallon paint stick.

Was easier to give them 5.00 and say thank you. I am waiting for the US government to have a fire sale. Should be within the next two years. I am guessing that the add will say "Going out of Business" moving to china. Everything listed above is a joke. I dont see the Fire sale happening in two years, More like 18 months.

Re: 92 zr1 cam change& head work
I would get the car to Pete, his prices are pretty good considering the work entailed...had him do my clutch because I was backlogged with stuff...seriously I do not think you could do it yourself cheaper when you consider your time, etc....Petes the man and he is right down the road.

Re: 92 zr1 cam change& head work
 just a fwiw from the real peanut gallery. If I had to do that kind of work to my LT5, and I was anywhere near FBI land....my car would be there in a skinny minute! Tom
