Message things 2+ times hahaha but I guess that's how you learn. Well I removed the valve covers and end cam caps. I pulled the seals and had to use a razor blade to take the silicone off the heads and the caps. I was as careful as I could be in scraping the silicone off and hopefully I didn't damage them so that it springs an oil leak (Dang keeping fingers crossed and nocking on wood).

Grimm, when I installed the cams I put them in to where they would be as close as possible to the markings. There is only a few ways you can put them in so that the lobes clear the lifters. They are as close as I could get them but to me they still look pretty far apart. Approximately 4" from the mark. There is only one intake cam sprocket that is on the mark the rest are 3" to 4" apart.

I have 4 bolt downpipes so its good to hear that I don't have to deal with removing any other parts to get it in there.

Another question I had was while removing the driver-side down pipe one of the studs broke off inside the turbo. Im reluctant to drill and tap because im afraid to damage the turbo in the process. Anybody have any ideas on how to fix this?
