[QUOTE="fatcaaat, post: 202264, member: 1656"] Unfortunately no. I've tried every combo and approach imaginable. I ended up destroying several cam rollers in the process. I'm a bit concerned about the head/kit to be honest at this point. Not from a quality perspective, but more from just a fitment perspective. The head is different for sure, and the distance from the cam centerline to the head gasket surface is different (longer)than stock head configurations. I am starting to believe that this distance is going to be problematic on this kit, regardless of the setup. I already know that a 90l cam chain will not work on a stock configuration. But I don't think a 92 will work either. SO then you go to a 94 and i'm thinking same issue...now it's too long. Who knows....I'll report on that when the next engine core arrives and I bolt one on top of it. I think that I did find a tool that will allow me to remove the cam gear while still in the motor. This is a simple fix with the right tool...instead of clocking the gear with an open space to the flywheel key, you clock the gear to a tooth to the flywheel key and voila, this issue is corrected.
