Replacing Camshaft

Replacing Camshaft
As some of you know I am replacing my camshaft and lifters this Wednesday. Looking for any tips from those who have done this in the vehicle. Not sure how much clearance there is between the front of the engine and the radiator. Will that need to be removed on the Discovery?
I have read through the rave but as always it leaves alot of the required steps to get to the timing system. I have done the headgaskets so have had quite a bit of the engine apart before.
Also any tips on what to address while I am in there would be helpful. TIA!
As a matter of recourse I am posting my original video of the noise prior to the repair:

I thought the same thing, but someone pointed out that serpentine 3.9l like in the disco has an internal oil pump. It's the v-belt engines, like in the rrc, that have the external oil pumps.

Age has nothing to do with part wear, it could be 50yrs old with 1,000 miles on it and you wouldn't think twice about replacing something.
You ordered from D&D didnt you?
They also have a high flow oil pump, weather or not you replace it is up to you, personally I'd leave it alone unless you are having problems.
But the timing set is a must since you are installing a new cam.
