Re: dowel pin

It'll work if you can get the old one out and the new one in there. It's no easy feat.

Yeah, easier to buy a new dowel and install it.

Re: dowel pin

Take it to a machine shop and have them swap it. Probably cost you ~$10.

Re: dowel pin

Mine was too short for my cam too, so I bought one from ace and ground it down to the same diameter as the stock one, and then ground down the end to the stock length. Then I lightly tapped it in with a hammer untill there was .620" sticking out. The Diameter I bought was 1/4" and that was I think .003" too big so it had to be ground down some.
