You don't need to change your cam, whoever told you that is smoking crack. You can do it in about 4-6 hours (Patients permitting). Just take your time.

What crack pipe told you that?
On the 3.4 it a bit simple, remove:
Upper intake
valve covers
lower intake
pushrods
lifters

Don't forget to put them in the correct firing order. [img]smile.gif[/img]

Make sure you torque the rockers down when the valves are closed.. If you tighten them down and the valve begins to open you'll need to rotate the camshaft a little more till the lifter sits on the center part of the cam (off of a lobe).

I always tighten all the rockers to spec, and then go over each rocker again and re-torque them (always with the valves closed).

On a hydraulic roller you do not need to change the cam, on a Hydraulic or flat tappet cam you have to change the cam and lifters otherwise the lobes will go flat.
