I'm trying to remove the peice of dowl from the camshaft now.It's stuck good. 2 hours, and a Drill Doctor and and 1" of length off a 3/16" carbide bit I'm in 1/4". The hole in the cam gear is lot larger than the dowl. The engine has only been turned over by the crank by hand.either levering the starter ring with a screwdriver to rotate the flywheel to remove and reinstall the clutch or a large 15/16" boxed end wrench on the harmonic balancer.The back of the cam gear is gouged from being rotted past tthe broken peice of dowl pin.The hole in the cam gear is a bit larger than the dowl pin enough for a bushing.The valvesprings are the ones that came with engine.I do not want to remove this engine again..Icant remove the cam shaft in frame with out removing all the radiator shrouding and dropping the radiator out the bottom.I aint doing that again.
