Wouldn't recommend installing the cams yourself. Get Wissam to do it. He may be expensive, but he's good. I've seen his work. You'll also need some money for a custom tune. No point doing cams and getting a mail-in reflash.
Pointers...
The little Cap on the mivec gear is made of aluminum and requires 32 N-M can be broken very easily it uses a 14mm Allen. Make sure you buy one that will work with your tq wrench.
you can either stuff a rag in under the mivec gear when you remove the aluminum cap it will spill some oil out of it. Keep that off the timing belt. you can zip tie the belt to the gear and use the timing belt tensioner tool just like on an 8. the 9 mivec doesn’t require any bleeding. and as far as the lifters go, not really necessary unless you have the car sitting for days or weeks.
One thing to watch out for if you remove the timing belt completely. Watch the Oil Pump gear and make sure that it doesn’t move. There is a balance shaft behind it and that can actually go 360 degrees out, and all the marks will line up, but it will be out. it will cause the motor to vibrate badly at about 4k rpms plus.
