Going to be At work all night. Get some photos of the cam install!

[PokerBlakeB]

Did you end up getting that cam installed? We need pics of this build haha

[deadsnake]

Not yet, I am having issues taking the Crank bolt off, I have to rent an impact wrench

[ItHurtz]

dead dont people on here hook up the ratchet to the bolt, put it on the frame and crank the engine over and bust the bolt free? fuel and ignition disabled of course.

[deadsnake]

I cant crank the engine over, everything is unhooked, there are no heads on the car, nothing =(

[Matt Palm]

kick it as hard as you can

[ItHurtz]

you dont need heads, just a starter crank and flywheel!

If its that much apart you must be a baby if you cant get that off. I can think of 10 ways to do it right now

[deadsnake]

Then get ur ass over here and help lol

[ItHurtz]

If I had the time I would. Iv worked atleast 50hrs so far. Going to be in palatine all day tmw, gotta work sunday to to catch up on orders


put the starter on, rest the ratchet handle against the frame and spin the engine.

Im off work tuesday so if you dont get it by then i can try to help out. If we were to get that crank bolt loose, do you have the tool to remove the balancer?

[deadsnake]

Update! Thanks to Poker we were able to get the cam out safely. Install will begin Tuesday! Here are some pics of it continuing.
