Your gonna have a lot easier time grinding down the other one. I tried everything, heating it up with acetelyne and everyitng. Just measure and grind.

 

Are you swapping cams?

 

no i'm switching cams...just optis

 

I don't understand that statement.

 

Oh, I get it, not switching cams, switching from a 93/94 opti to a vented, so he needs a longer pin.

 

That is not the only thing the cam needs. It must have a larger center hole for the vented opti drive to fit inside. That is why most people just change the cam.

 

Hopefully if he knows this, I didnt.

 

I tried everthing possible too. I just pulled the cam out, rapped it in a towel and grinded down the dowl.
