    i was looking at my original cam and noticed that it had a notch in it for the timing chain. then i looked at my vs cam and noticed that there is no notch????






    is it supposed to be like this and also how am i supposed to put the timing chain on ?

    I always pop it out of the old cam with a screwdriver, then place the key in the new keyway on the new cam. Stick the nose of the cam on a piece of wood and give it a couple gentle taps with a hammer until it's in place.

    pull it out, its a 1/2 moon shape on the inside, wiggle and pull it out.

    if its stuck in the cam gear, punch it out with a screw driver.
