I bought a s/hand polished head a little while back which had a kent cvh 35 cam in it.

I plan to have it skimmed and checked over before i fit it so i started stripping it down earlier.

Its completely stripped but cant get the cam out?!

It comes out about 3 inch or so then stops, ive been trying for ages with no luck.

Any suggestions would be a great help

 

twist it whilst pullung gently, should have to turn it a few times, as odd lobes catch... careful not to damage the lobes/bearings

 

been turning it slowly and pulling on it but ill keep trying

cheers mate

 

remove all rockers, lifters and thrust plate, the cam should then come out through the dizzy end.

 

You are trying to extract it the right side yeah? It can only be removed from the dizzy side, and as said you usually have to spin it about 180 degrees to pass each bearing seat.

 

thats where im going wrong

ill try the other end

thanks

 

I'm sure weve all been there and done that

At least you asked before you got the lump hammer out

 

 

got it out no probs its so simple

cant believe i didnt think to try the other end
