Camshaft tool?

Ice,
That is an excellent idea. Several manufacturers offer a similar too to aid in camshaft removal and installation, and if you already have an appropriate handle, all you need is a couple of bolts.

Actually there's a pre-existing tool already installed on the motor from the factory, just waiting for someone to need it. It doubles as the cam gear when not in use as a handle.

5/16" NC bolt. Try the spare tire hold down bolt. It should be the same size and provides a long enough handle.

you can buy a tool for this. i did like Rb said and used a gear for years. a few years back i turned a piece of aluminum and made a handle for it on my lathe and transfered the holes from a cam sproket to get a good grip on cams when i put one in.
