hey all, i have a '95 240 and i'm gettin '91 cams. i wanna swap them out obviously. i've heard from a mechanic friend of mine that i need to make sure i have the rocker arms or sumthin like that from the other motor for these new cams since they are diff. but the motors are exactly the same, and the cams just have a different grind on them, so they should just drop right in, correct? i just wanna make sure about this.....if sumthin like this has been up b4, sorry, i forgot to post and i had already typed all that, so.

hey summer, apparently they should just drop right in. (the guy giving these to me said this). since it is the exact motor and everything, they should go directly in. i hope they do!

i think they have a different duration and lift, but im not real sure. but i think they should drop right in. if so they should fit in the 98 too, i know they changed the cams starting with '95. but they're supposed to have a better torque band, and plus theyre made out of a stronger material, or something like that. but theyre said to be better when turboing (<---- is that a word?) your ka.
