camshaft removal frustrations

[teazer]

Do not remove the guides unless you have the correct drift and plan on fitting new ones.

Just be very careful to was all the beads out.

For the combustion chambers I usually use a wire brush and the same on valves.

good, i really didnt want to take'em out anyway!! thanks. btw, there is 0 slop inthe guide-valve interface, so that is good...and they produce vacuum when i pull the valve out! pretty tight tolerances, there, i guess.

man, I had exactly the same problem when I rebuilt mine..thought I was going to beat the daylights out of that thing. I almost wonder if people torque that bolt too high when they put the camshaft back together.
