I dont think there would be. Its pretty complicated to just show someone who's never done it. Get an FSM

FSM didn't come with the car, unless the previous owner bought one. They usually cost around $60 on eBay.

Chilton's has instructions for the cams as well, but if you can afford the FSM instead of the $20 Chiltons, get it instead, it will save you trouble in the long run.

They sell those over eBay for like $15, but they're just copies of a CD-R that have the manual scanned into .pdf format.

The same thing as the book, but most people would rather have the book, and I'm one of them.

Schuck's, Napa, Autozone, basically any car store around you should have them.

Actually there is, and its free. Jim Wolf technology has a web page on putting cams in a KA24DE. Its really detailed, and it takes you through every step a lot better than the factory manual, and it even has pictures. What a deal.http://jimwolftechnology.com/w...S.PDF

hey midnightsliding - did you use the proper torque specs on all the bolts? Also, what cam configuration did you decide to run? 204/248, 248/232, 248/240, 240/232? please post a link to the info you found on the web.....
