Yea,I used the rods to install the cam on my car,with no problems..We grinded down the rod and it went in,now with both rods in,if we spin the cam,you can still feel some movement from the lifters,like the cam lobes are barely hitting it,the rods will not go any further...Will this be a problem if we go ahead and pull the cam?????

i used a little incouragement with a "tapper" and got it in but it was a bitch to get out too. wouldnt recommend forcing it in!

the pull and pray method has worked for a lot of ppl but i would not recommened it. Ill pull the heads and take out the lifters before I pull and pray
