I've just ordered a VX cam (used with 15k miles) I'm going to wait until I get an adjustable cam gear and then do the install.

I'm going to take it to the volvo shop where I usually get stuff done that I can't do myself. They strictly only work on Volvo's and have decent prices for labour, parts, etc. Compared to a volvo dealership.

I know it's straight forward.. the shop I'm taking it to says they dont do many camshaft installs. Anyways, im going to get new rubber valve silencers while I'm at it as well as the usual gasket job, new t-belt, etc.

Question is: are there any differences installing a VX compared to the factory M cam in terms of shimming, valve adjusting, etc.? Any other things i should look into when i eventually take the 240 in?
