Just the timing gear and the camshaft remain. I don't see any obvious way to remove it without damage. Perhaps the secret is beneath some grease yet. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jan 2000 Posts: 2,074 | Did you remove the two screws you see throught the holes in the timing gear??? May need to turn it over to line up with those screws. | | | | | Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 28 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Jul 2007 Posts: 28 | I was afraid someone would say something like that. It is frozen. I had to drop the crack with the flywheel and clutch for the same reason as the bell housing bolts could not be accessed.
The little thing-a-magigs that the camshaft pushes are froze. I have them soaking in penetrating oil to try to free them. how much force can I use to remove these to allow the camshaft to rotate? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | You must be talking about the lifters. Even if the lifters are "frozen" you should be able to rock the camshaft a small amount. If you can't I would think that the cam is stuck too. If this is the case I would concentrate on freeing the cam first. Since you have the pan off you should be able to shoot the cam bearings with a little penetrating oil. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | | | |
