Yellow tape on hotcam?

When I got the cam it has some yellow tape like stuff on it between the last lobe and oil pump drive gear, do I need to remove it or leave it on? Also I need to drive the dowel pin in more a hammer isnt working, it's starting to mess it up.

I heard the best way is to headbutt it in.

I heard people just dropped the cam on the ground and that forces the pin all the way in.

I was able to get mine in with a hammer only halfways and then it started messing up the pin. I took a dremel and cut the rest off.

Is it actually a tape or is it more of a paint? Mine had a colored stripe of paint on it. If its tape for sure get it off of there.
