You should also have the lifters "radius ground" before putting in a new cam. The lifters have to turn as the cam lobes are ground at an angle to the axis of the cam and are not parrallel with cam axis. The taper causes the follower to spin and not wear in one spot.
You have to turn the engine upside down as previously mentioned to clear the cam for removal and installation.

Alas if only there was a magic device that held the lifters in place we could leave the motor in and just swap cams. Just as well as I always use new lifters.I have changed a cam in an A-series it is very easy but yes you do have to trun the motor upside down.

You could put your 1200 on one of these:
![Open in new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://datsun1200.com/modules/myalbum/photos/thumbs/637.jpg");) Then turn the entire car over, like this: ![Open in new window](javascript:CaricaFoto("http://datsun1200.com/modules/myalbum/photos/thumbs/636.jpg");) That's how WALLY changes camshafts (just kidding).
