book said 4 hour job, whats a cam lock?

4 hours!!!! ha, see thats how us mechanics make our money!!! the cam lock is a very special tool that is incredibly sophisticated......im lying, its a peice of steel thats about 1/8 inch thick and about 6inches long, it fits in off set grooves in the back of the cams, it fits in one way and sits flush aginst the upper deck of the head. with out it its like a 1hour job , but no sure bet its spot on.

1 hour tops!!!!!

The bolt actually isn't on there that hard.... it only specs 85ft lbs of torque....the problem is keeping it from spining when your trying to take if off

so you weld the gear to the head then grind the weld off when done.

Sounds good....we'll try it out on your car and see how it goes

I believe I have a cam gear tool. Pretty simple looking if you ask me. Are you going to be at the Home Deapot meet tomarrow night Krypto? You can use it if needed.

thats where the good old pop shocker comes in. with ninja like skill you can use the palm to strike the ratchet.....also a trick is to use the serp belt as a strap wrench.
