I've seen a few where the right tools weren't used = rough idle and lots of noise. In the Haynes manual, it shows a picture of the tool to use for cam alignment. Funny, it looks like a peice of angle aluminum to me, so that's what I used. To take up the slop because the angle was a little undersized, I added plastic shim stock to make up the .030 or so difference. Worked great, cost me nothing. It didn't mention the crankshaft timing peg or the cam pulley holding tool...and it worked great w/o loosening off the cam pulley bolts while setting the tension?

Don't use the cam alingment tool to hold the cams as this could add a little twist to the them.I took the cams off and slid the seals off over the lobes and carefully slid the new seals into place using the same method. Be sure to add a little oil to the lip of the seal before installing them. Then torque the cams caps back to spec. Be sure to apply the sealer to the caps by the cam gears as shown in the book. Works great! Britt Boyette Break Like the Wind Racing
