ok i have been looking on every site i can to find out how to titen the cam cap bolts. the chilton says (start from the outside an work your way in), but on jwt site it says ( start in the middle an work your way out), now witch is right? an this is a ka24de. i think out sides to middle, but tats my .02. because if you start from the middle it would cause the out sides to bow up. an yes i know to pre titen all bolts a it only takes 6.7-8.7ft pounds. any help form people that have installed cams befor an had em work an last please let me know witch way to do it right i am putting in bc stage two cam kit that set me back 1100.00 an i do not want to do it wrong if you know wat i mean.

Its from the inside out. Itll take the stress from the middle and take it outwards, it'll bring the stress in the middle if you do it outside in. Here is how the FSM says it:

It goes from the middle and out.

Hmm it is outside in, its kind of odd. Its kind of bringing all the stress into the middle but that's how the FSM says it lol! But if your using JWT cams or w/e cams you are using follow their instructions!
