jpr cam tool question i bought some 5/16 dowels rather than the jpr cam tool that thrunder racing offers...
i was told this will work, can anyone back it up?
anything special about the cam tool? theres gotta be a reason it costs 80 bucks

They will work fine. The JPR dowels have a flat spot on one side. I would make sure you use METAL rod instead of wooden though.
Just cut them a few inches longer than the cam and slide them in place. The passenger side should slide in no problem after you spin the cam a few times, while the driver side might need the side shaved down a bit. I used a grinding stone in my die grinder to smooth one side down so it would work in mine. Lube them up with a little motor oil and be gentle with them.
PS - I typed this out when it was still in my section, and I was going to move it afterwards. Good job on the deletion/re-posting in the right section.
