Once the cams, seals, back plates, and gears are installed the very next thing to do is to string the timing belt. So, I get all the 'stuff' installed on the front before doing cams.
Note that the cam caps on the intake side are installed 'upside down' - see WSM pages.
This is also a very good time to index the exhaust cams with the tools shown in the WSM. Once you've done that you have a zero reference for use of the PK'32vR if you want to make small changes later.
Think long and hard about how you'll go about it, think about what can go wrong. Once you've made up your mind, measure thrice. And best have twice the material you think you'll need.
A lot of it depends upon what you want it to look like when your done. Half-assed or factory-looking.

Any experience on doing this?If you attempt to clean it you'll likely end up with most of it on the floor. Either don't mess with it or go down the rabbit hole. DEI makes various products you can use on the insulation to replace the reflective material. Unless you want to remove *everything* from the firewall you'll want a thin flexible material that you can "work in" with the firewall accouterments loose.
