A 27mm, 12-point socket is required.

Just make your own. I bought a 3' piece of 5/16" wooden dowel for a buck, cut it in half, and rounded the ends going into the block over. Lubed it with oil and they worked just fine.

Spin the cam to make sure your lifters are up before putting it in. Don't worry about it being held in there, it will be a snug fit, that's why you round the ends over, to help get it in.
