Yup. just tap the key to start it a tad, but ONLY if necessary.

Tighten the bearing caps to the specified torque in two or three steps as shown.
TORQUE SPECIFICATION
Bearing cap bolt 12-14 Nm ( 120-140 kg·cm, 9-10 lb·ft )
Using special tool, camshaft oil seal installer (09221-21000), press the camshaft oil seal. Be sure to apply engine oil to the external surface of the oil seal. Insert the oil seal along the camshaft front end and install by driving the installer with a hammer until the oil seal is fully seated.

OK. Installed. And I think im fine..When do I know if there MIGHT be a problem? I idled for like 4 minutes. While letting the ECU remap itself. And I did notice @ the start it was at 1k and then after a few minutes it went to it's normal 7-8.so thats a good sign. Then i SLOWLY reved to 2k and let stay for like 30 seconds..then back down to an idle for 2 minutes...then took it up to 3k at a fast rate....let stay for a few minutes..then idle for like 20 seconds..which stayed @ 7-8...and between a few of these rev's..shutdown for a few seconds. but when can I be 100% certain im all good? Also my torque wrench goes from (top)150 to 30(bottom) . What is the correct setting for it? 70? that would be 7lbs per sq foot/inch..is that correct thinking? I just used a socket wrench to semi-tight. but now I need to go back and Torque them..so what is the setting and when can I race again..hehe

For future reference, it is always best to hold your engine at 2-3000 rpms for 10-15 minutes to correctly break in a cam. 150 is 150 ft/lbs, and 30 is 30 ft/lbs. Torque it once, break in the cam, let it idle for a little bit, then go in and torque everything one more time, just to make sure.

Nice call Joey!!!!!!!!!!
If you don't do this your cam will grind itself down thus losing alot of power. I did not break in the cam in my Camaro properly and it has 10,000kms and has no real power left.

If your torque wrench is in pound inches, divide by 12 (12 inches to convert to pound feet), so 150 would equal 12.5 pound feet. So 84 pound inches = 7 pound feet.
MAKE SURE IT IS POUND INCHES NOT POUND FEET BEFORE DOING THIS!!!!!

I set to 65..which would be 6.5 im guessing. Which seems to be nice and tight. I used 70 on another bolt in my engine bay and it was a bit tight..i'll chk in a few days..to make sure...So i have to rev it for 10-15 minutes to break it in? Can't I just drive normal..or do I NEED TO DO THIS? I wan to make sure I get all the improvements from this mod. If so I will drive to work tomorrow and @ lunch..just eat my foot long BLT sub with HEAVY ALL in my car. Damn..im hungry now..hehe. Thanks guys for all the help on this..now simple install...Could do it now in under 1/2 im guessing....i've opened it up now 3 time's..just to make sure thing's were still tight and looking fine.
All seems well.

65 / 12 = 5.41 which is too light!! That is only about half of what they need! Tighten those suckers down again right away!!!
They need to be between 9 and 10 pound FEET, so you need between 108 and 120, again, assuming your torque wrench is pound INCHES rather than pound FEET. 12 inches to the foot, so divide by 12 not 10!
