Take time to keep everything very organized, it pays off when you put it all back together.

I think the cam will slide out and just barely miss the radiator and all? that what it looked when I eye-balled mine, but I could be very wrong since I didnt get that far in my failed attempt number 1.. but next weekend by the grace of God

you have to remove the radiator to clear the cam, remember that cam is as long as the whole motor and there is no clearance to twist, the radiator is 2 bolts and 4 lines, not a problem



Happy wrenching ya'll
