You will also have check the clearance between the cams and lifters to make sure they are in spec. If you don't best case is it didn't change, worse case there isn't enough clearance and you will melt something or run a valve into a piston, or if there is to much clearance it will slap around in there and either just break, or damage the cam from the pounding.

Edit: just so you know you need to do this any time you change cams, even if you put in another oe cam, it is best to do it whenever the head or block is decked as well in case the head gets distorted, basically any time you pull the head you should check it, it only takes 30 minutes.
gtkiller and Elmo370z like this.
