This opens a whole new can of worms when it comes to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/blogs.insideline.com\/roadtests\/2009\/01\/2008-mitsubishi-evo-gsr-cosworth-mx1-cams-deets.html\">cam replacement<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Swapping cams pretty much necessitates a vehicle lift unless you&#8217;re some kind of vehicular masochist. The front engine mount, timing covers and oil pan must be removed, and the whole job consumes about 50% more time than the earlier cars due to all the scraping and cleaning of the gasket goo that covers everything.<\/p>\n<p>Road Race Engineering charges $350 for a cam install on the Evo X. You might be able to DIY, but I wouldn&#8217;t want to.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.edmunds.com\/roadtests\/2009\/01\/assets\/images\/cams-in-head-778-thumb-200x149.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"149\" \/>\u00a0<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"http:\/\/blogs.edmunds.com\/roadtests\/2009\/01\/assets\/images\/cam-chain-778-thumb-200x149.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"149\" \/><\/p>\n<p>by\u00a0Jason Kavanagh, Engineering Editor @ 15,851 miles.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div class=\"twttr_buttons\"><div class=\"twttr_twitter\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share?text=EDMUND%27S+Project+EVO+Part+II\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-via=\"\" data-hashtags=\"\" data-lang=\"en\" data-size=\"default\" data-url=\"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/2009\/02\/26\/edmunds-project-evo-part-ii\/\"  data-related=\"\" target=\"_blank\">Tweet<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"pntrst_main_before_after\"><div class=\"pntrst-button-wrap\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a data-pin-do=\"buttonBookmark\" data-pin-custom=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/create\/button\/\"><img data-pin-nopin=\"1\" class=\"pntrst-custom-pin\" src=\"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-content\/plugins\/social-buttons-pack\/bws-pinterest\/images\/pin.png\" width=\"60\"><\/a>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div><\/div><div class=\"fcbkbttn_buttons_block\" id=\"fcbkbttn_left\"><div class=\"fcbkbttn_like \"><fb:like href=\"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/2009\/02\/26\/edmunds-project-evo-part-ii\/\" action=\"like\" colorscheme=\"light\" layout=\"standard\"  width=\"450px\" size=\"small\"><\/fb:like><\/div><div class=\"fb-share-button  \" data-href=\"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/2009\/02\/26\/edmunds-project-evo-part-ii\/\" data-type=\"button_count\" data-size=\"small\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>2008 Mitsubishi Evo GSR: Road Race Engineering Cosworth Cam Install From\u00a0Edmunds Insideline Blog &nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[1],"tags":[24,19,28],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1571"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1571"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1571\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1684,"href":"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1571\/revisions\/1684"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1571"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1571"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/roadraceengineering.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1571"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
