After my SVO cam wiped a lobe, I changed to a new cam and lifters in
my Tiger II . I swaped in a 351C; but I assume you could do it on a 289
or 260 the same way. Pull the waterpump, alternator, radiator,etc. You
can keep the pan on and use a " Victor" timing chain set, but I don't
recommend it. Pull the pan and clean out all the steel chunks from your
old cam and lifters. Be sure to disassemble the oil cooler if you wiped
a cam. There is a valve in one lower end of it that collects chunks.
(Assuming you have a Tiger II with the dual tube oil cooler.) Obviously
you must pull the grill.
By the way; conserning all the talk about the egg-crate grill of a Tiger II.
The SS trim around the grill is NOT the same as the trim around an
Ailpine "bar" grill. It is much wider at the top. I don't know about the
trim on the early Tigers. The egg-crate grill is also difficult to clean
and polish.
