OK, its not as bad as that. Heres the problem. First of all, its not stuck at the bottom of the bore. Its at the top. My camshaft is not lobed off (fortuantly), but the problem is that it wont lift up and out. I would really like to save this camshaft, as it is a .410 lift custom ground for this engine. It will travel the route of the guide down, but it just wont lift out. Any ideas would be appreciated.
