does anyone know where to get a camshaft remover or if there are any other ways to remove your cam?
and secondly which kind of puller works best for removing the lower timing gear sprocket? thanks! |

Re: camshaft remover
I always use a 2 jaw puller to remove the pulley, I use longer bolts and pull the cam right out, never had problems, make sure the lifters are out first........

 When my son and his friend did a cam swap, they just started taking stuff apart. Whatever was on the intake wound up in the intake runners. I don't know if the same care was taken putting it back together or if it happened on teardown but somehow a washer wound up in #5 cylinder. Beat the living crap out of the piston and ruined the head. I still don't know if the block is ok. It was a 2000 mile crate 350. Very sad day. |

Re: camshaft remover
If you would have stated that you were having trouble I would have told you to check it.
 I try not to offer to much advice anymore. Apparently there are those who will get offended.
