you need to check your clearences before you take your cams out. work out the difference, then make a shim or buy a shim to fit. id probabley have a pop at making them as theyre hard and also dear to get off nissan. I made my own with mine and it worked a treat. do a search on making shims as im sure ive come across it on this site somwhere.
