Installing S50 Camshafts In An M52 Engine

I am in the process of putting together a complete video for my M52 engine rebuild. It's a big one so what I have decided to do is take small clips out of it in advance for important parts of the rebuild to make it more digestible. The entire video will go live for sure, but I am also looking to answer some of the smaller but important parts in greater detail.

In this video I explain how to safely install camshafts on an M52 engine however the same principals would apply to the M50, S50, S52, M52TU, and M55/M56 engines. There are a few techniques out there for safely removing and installing cams on these engines. However, I find it the safest and easiest to use the two journal technique if you don't have access to the special cam installation tool. The reason I prefer this is the load is evenly spread on journals 3 and 5 in this procedure and it's a partial load on the lifters vs a complete load if you chose to use the 1 journal technique.
