couple of questions on tear down
couple of questions on tear down i have a couple of allen headed bolts on the valley cover and i can not fined of an allen wrench that will fit, are these common on the valley cover or has someone replaced them, 2nd do u have 2 have the valley cover off to get the cam out i have the cam plate off and i can not get it to move any advise would be nice thanks, also the oil pump gear and timing rear do u have to use a puller to get them off thanks for the help
I don't think those valley cover bolts are stock, did you have a FAST intake on it at one time, I seem to remember someone saying they are needed for clearance. Valley cover can stay on, but you need to get the lifters out of the way to take the cam out, either with the magnets, the wooden dowels, or by taking the heads off and completely removing them. To get the oil pump off just take those 4 bolts out, you shouldn't need a puller for it. The timing gear on the crankshaft does need a puller to remove.

Take the rear cover off to expose the other end of the cam. See if you can use a rubber mallet and gently dislodge it. If it takes more than a couple whacks, then something is jamming it. Could be a spun cam bearing.
