Pulling cam ??

Am I correct that the 5/16 rod is slid into the two holes behind the cam Plate? If so, the left side slid in no problem, the right side however only goes in about 4 inches. spun the cam around a few times with no luck. Please advise, Thanks

Try to pull the lifter up on that side with a pen magnet, then slide the dowl in.

you usely have to grind a flat side the length of the rod. not much. this side against the lifter. smooth it with sand paper. apply oil.

I also forgot about the rod. I have the JRP tool. I don't use a dowl rod.

What does the JRP tool look like? Do you think I should use a smaller rod on the right side, 1\4 in maybe?

It's an aluminum dowl rod ground down to a flat edge @ a 90* angle, with an end to stop it from going in too far. Cost about $80. I think you can find it in the tools forum if you search. The rod you have should work. You can always use 8 pen magnets on that side if the rod it not working for you.
