Camshaft installation

I have a 91 CRX Si 1.6L camshaft and cam gear, and I want to swap it with my camshaft. My car is a 95 LX with a 1.5L Non-VTEC D15B7 motor. How do I do it safely? What are the steps, anyone have any good info I can use?

If you insist on installing them yourself. Buy yourself a factory shop manual, and some proper tools.
Most camshaft failures (breakage) happen because the installer didn't torque everything to spec.

Depending on how radical the lift is, it might be a wise investment to upgrade your valvetrain.

if you need to ask this question i'm not sure if you want to be installing it yourself. i think it would be a lot better (and safer) for a shop to install it for you.

edit> btw, i'm not knocking on you or anything. i havent the slightest clue on how to do this myself either. just giving you advice
