Looking at a BRZ head.....I'm not a mechanic, but looks pretty standard as far as springs? Ya know, remove cams, remove springs/retainers, install new ones. reinstall cams in same spot. Time them. Close it up and start.
Other than being horizontal, whats majorly different from any other ohc engine?

The weak link in the process is the timing chain cover sealant both in removal of old and application of new. ANY excess whether from scraping off the old or the new application that gets into the engine can and will clog oil ports. This is a ticking time bomb especially for those that see track time.
