sliding in the lifter dowels? condensor is giving me trouble
hello, im trying to slide in the lifter dowels i have made, the rod length is 22" excluding the handle. is this too long? the condensor is in the way right now. should i cut the rods just a bit? i want to lift up the condensor but then i would be lifting it way too much since the holes in the block are above the camshaft

The cam itself is around 21" so you may have an issue that needs to be fixed before going further unless the handles you refer to lengthen the rods. Are they just bend 90 degrees?

thanks for the reply, the straight rod itself is 22" and i made a 90 degree bend at the end which is 3" long so should i cut them 1 inch or 2 inches? how else do other people put in the rods? the total rod length before the bend is 24"

ok, i have to make sure they slide in completly straight right? and is it the passenger side that needs to be flat a bit or the drivers?

ya they should slide in without much force and i didnt have anything flatened but a buddy used my dowels and said he had trouble getting one in one side but it went right in the other but i cant remeber what side?
You need to lift the condensor up out of the way to get the cam out anyway, so move it.
I don't see the problem here once the condensor has been moved. You will be moments away from removing the cam.
yea i understand, but for the dowels i have to lift the condesor even more because the holes are higher then the cam. but anyways im going to get my brother to help me because i was doing it myself. thanks guys
