A little cam help

[Anonymous]

where can I get the the pin(its a dowel pin I think) and spacer for my new camshaft I'm installing? The stock one is pressed in so i don't think I could just take it off there. It's the part on the end of the camshaft that keeps the timing sprocket in position.

Try heating the pin up. I heated mine, then put a vice grip on it and gently tapped it loose with a hammer. It just took a little work.

Another trick I've seen is to heat the end opposite of the dowel, and then put an ice cube on top of the dowel.

I was thinking I might have to do something like that. By heating it up the hole should expand.

I heated the cam up with a mini torch for a couple minutes and pulled it right out with a pair of pliers.

Another one I had practically fell out on its own....
