I can't seem to find my instructions for installing my RAS's, so does anybody know if this little bracket is in the right place? It seems like it should be turned around, because it looks like the cam lobe would hit it once I get the engine fired up, but I thought that the instructions said it went like that. Any ideas?

You can always roll the engine over manually with a large socket over the crank to watch if anything hits. Just make sure you roll slowly. Also, make sure your key isn't in the ignition. =) IMO, it kind of does look like you need to turn it over the other way, but I am looking at the picture at a bad angle to actually tell you. A shot from the top would be easier to point out.

Heh, I took the valve cover off and it was the right way, looks like someone saw the mistake after I took the picture, and it was already torqued down too, sweet.
