I have had the 450 cam swap in my 02 YZ426 since July 2003 with absolutely no problems. Looking at the timing chain on the exhaust sprocket it sits up a slight bit but engages enough to stay put. I have had no timing changes what so ever nor has the chai ever jumped the cam sprockets. The dimensional difference is minute.

Best of luck with the swap, it is well worth the time.

There is no difference in the YZ and WR top ends. Read the Motoman393 website for inside gouge on doing the swap.

Here is a link to Satch's instructions with pictures. this helped me do the swap, along with a phone call to Satch

Best of luck, let me know if you need some help on the swap if you decide to do it.
