You have to pull the acc. belt, all the pullies, passenger side motor mount, and timing cover. I've done this maybe 15 times on my Evo and had to do it today actually. If you find a "How-to" on swapping cams or changing a timing belt, you should be good to go.

I have a sandwich plate which lowers it an inch plus the almost 4 inches the front is already lowered, and I tried dodging two huuuuge potholes back to back, I dodged the first one but my passenger side caught the edge of the second and my oil filter got caught up on it
