i have a 62 235 and i can not get the cam out, it moves out about 1/4 of an inch but then stops. the distributor is pulled,the retainer bolts,pushrods are pulled and the lifters are pulled up 1/2 an inch. as far as every other engine i've worked on goes it should be able to slide out. any hints??????

You mention the retainer bolts? Is that for the thrust plate? If so I think that's everything.

If the crank is not turned just right the cam will hit a counter balance.


See the USA in your vintage Chevrolet!

Note that the Chevrolet Shop Manual recommends that the crankshaft gear be pulled first. This allows for easy rotation of the camshaft to clear the crankshaft counterbalance weights. Otherwise, the crank has to be rotated to eliminate the interference until the cam gear is no longer engaged with the crank gear.
