Remove the cam sensor prior to pulling the cam? Helms says to! Well, I just changed out the stock cam for a TR-220. I did this [without] removing the cam sensor (located behind the intake manifold).
Now, after reading the cam replacement procedure in my GM service manual CD, I see that it says to first remove the cam sensor prior to removing the camshaft.
Anyone have an input on this?
Thanks,
Ron

Re: Remove the cam sensor prior to pulling the cam? Helms says to! Your also supposed to pull the heads and lifters for a cam also! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

Re: Remove the cam sensor prior to pulling the cam? Helms says to! The sensor does not protrude very much, maybe less than an inch, and the cam is like 5-6 inches farther down... So I don't see why it would need to be pulled. You have to pull the intake to remove the cam position sensor because you can't get a wrench or socket back there otherwise Ron.
