Hi all,
Last thing before I start putting my B20 back together, the camshaft bearings need to go in. After looking at the prices quoted by the local machine shops for this seemingly straightforward operation, I was pretty shocked (this is switzerland, country of the expensive labour: eg. 220 USD just for honing a B20 block )

So as I'm not particularly keen on giving my money out to people whom I think do rob me, I was wondering if the fitting of new cam bearings could be done at home or if this is the sort of stuff you really need to get done by a pro. I don't have any experience in this, and thought of building custom fabricated pullers to get this in, but I'm not totally comfy with the idea...

Your thoughts about this??

Thanks, Séb
