Michael H Mike On that dowel pin for the cam I had the same problem You should mike the hole and get a piece of round tool steel for the next pin. .304 was the hole in my crane cam and I had the loose pin problem too. The stock pin is too loose, you can tap it in but will not hold. If you have solid lifter you may have bent some valves, hydro lifter you should be safe. If you drill out the pin to .250, look for the next size up pin to install, .258-.260 diameter. You should pull the motor apart and check for other damage. Sorry . Call comp and ask what size the pin is to be, Then tell them that the hole is over sizes. Talk to a senior tech not one of the under studies. Crane does the same thing, I got a new cam free, but worked with the first one. This is why a great machinist is SO IMPORTANT. I hope for little damage, check the endplay on the cam when done and there should be no side to side between the cam dowel and hole in the cam sprocket. Rick Lake
