Any write-ups for cam install

I've tried to search but I can't find much. Anyone have a basic how-to or tips for installing cams in this car?

remove valve cover,
remove alternator,
loosen cam chain tensioner bolt,
zip tie the cam sprokets to the cam chain so timing is not messed up,
undo bolts on the valve train in a star pattern and remove valve train
undo bolt on cam sproket and cam will come off

Thanks for the responses guys. I've done many cam installs in other cars so I can turn a wrench, but it helps to outline the process before getting started. Are any special MB tools required such as the cam sprocket holding things,etc?

Yes, real easy job, like Shardul said. Let me add that before you start,to put the flywheel on the 40 eg mark or top dead center. Dont have to do this but it does give a reference, in case you ran into a chain issue.

Mb dies special tools that come in handy. One is for cam gear bolts and the other two are cam locking tools. Give me your email, I have a great pdf to walk you through stretto by step. For an na car but same thing basically

You can set it using the cam locking tools too
