The cam has a retaining plate that is behind the cam gear. The plate is held in with 2 bolts, turn the cam and look thru the hole in the gear for the bolts, remove them and then the cam will pull out. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 420 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2011 Posts: 420 | | | | | | Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 566 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Aug 2012 Posts: 566 | Its really that simple and btw what I found is that the cam gear is just pressed on. Here is a cool thing to think about too. http://www.stovebolt.com/techtips/timing%20cover%20mod/
