cam install help!!! Okay...I am a little worried about just pulling the cam out and relying on the lifter trays, so I bought some 5/16 steel rods. I can only get them in about 1/3 of the way!! Should I file the end of it down like you do with the motor mount bolts? Or do I have a lifter in the way or what? I am not going any further tonight until I can figure this one out. ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME! THANKS!!!

brake line is your friend. i had an issue with the jpr tool not working for me correctly on the right side due to a little extra casting inside. used some slightly smaller than 5/16th brake line and right side went right in. drivers side slid in no problem so no brake line used.

if you push down on the pushrods and turn the cam do you feel the lifter? need to get them all up and out of the way. we also used a pen magnet on a few that didnt want to go up, lift with the magnet and slowly slide the dowell further in. one side of the dowell needs to be flat, if its completely round not sure if it will go in.

I think I am gonna go to bed and try some more tomorrow. I've got one pen magnet, and I guess I am going to go to each lifter. If they still wont go in then I will file the front down to a point. If that doesnt work then I guess I'll have to file a flat spot on each one. I know its really tight puting them in.
