Comp XFI 280 Dowel pin length problem
So I have a Comp XFI280 cam that im about to put into my new shortblock. My problem is that the Dowel pin is much shorter than the one on my old cam, the new one doesnt even stick all the way through the timing gear, let alone into the opti. How do i go about fixing this guys? i need this up and running ASAP!

Also, if pulled out too far, it'll kill the Opti. The length of the pin differs depending on the year of the LT1.
The pin on the stock cam I just removed from my son's 96 LT1 extends .625". Other years may be different.
Oops, made a typo on pin length, it's .625 NOT .0625 Sorry 'bout that.

just in case anyone else runs into this problem, i pulled it out with an old drill chuck. It not even close to long enough to do that job at all so i had a new one made at a local machine shop, problem solved.
