Mike,

Gee what a coincidence, we put a competition cam in my motor with the same results. The cam pin sheared right off simply turning the motor over by hand one day..........we were lucky enough to have it happen on the engine stand, but it was still a pain in the A$$ to remove since the drilling method didn't work for us either. I'll ask my buddy to offer some suggestions on the removal of the pin that is now stuck in your cam.....I think he took the cam to work and had the remaining piece disintegrated with some special equipment.

P.S. THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH OUR MOTOR BUILD....the stupid pin was simply overly hardened. I'm willing to bet they made a bad batch of these dowel pins and we were the "lucky" ones to get them. Hmmm....why can't we have the same luck with the lottery!

Hang in there........it will all be worth it once the car is running!
