Many people have done 3v cam swaps in their garage.

Haha. I used the same instructions BUT, for people with aftermarket crank pulleys (UD pulley people) The aftermarket pulleys aren't marked so finding top dead center is not easy.

What I did instead, was just start on cylinder 4, turn the engine over till the exhaust valve was close, remove the follower, look at cylinder 5, turn it over till the exhaust is closed, remove follower. And repeat for all the rest. You end up taking out more followers, but once you get the hang of it, it's easy so who cares. This method doesn't require finding top dead center, doesn't require turning it over a certain distance, then back again, but not too far, etc. You just keep turning it till the exhaust valve of each cylinder is closed, and remove the follower. Super easy.
