In Reply to: How do you remove a cam? posted by Sterling [99.58.180.94] on Tuesday, February 12, 2013 at 11:15:05 :
Why are you removing the cam? Sounds like you should bight the bullet and dissasemble your motorand have it machined. First make sure you have an adaquate engine stand bolt iton securely.
remove the pan,oil strainer, remove pistons and mark them so they go back in the exact cylinders. Of course you have the head off so you can gently push the con rods up or down if the engine is inverted after you ubbolt the big end bearings. Also they must go back to the same place. Remove crankshaft compress valves and remove valve springs, remove tappets, remove timing chain and unbolt cam bolts then gently slide out cam. Remove oil pump and all acessories. Make sure you put all loose parts in baggies and label them accurately. At each step take a lot of photos so you can remember how it goes back. When assembling use lots of engine lube and adjust endplay according to specs. Torque nuts accurately. You must have a Dodge manual before you start. If you are not comfortable do not attempt. I would read a lot on the general process before starting.
