Default Cam dowel doesn't fit

My cam won't fit in the the timing sprocket. I tried to search this out but don't know the correct terms to find what I need. Do I drill it out or do i get a new timing set?

The cam is for an LS2 and the timing set is for an LS2, so what's the story? Anyone?

Cam dowel looks double the normal size, tell me you didn't get this new? My guess would be someone bored out the cam hole and installed a larger dowel...
