Cam dowl pin sheard at cam

[Michael C Henry]

I was just looking for the information just mentioned. Looking through the latest Summit catalog.The Hex -A -just is listed as Cloyes now.It has the same 3108 number but mentions a bushing that is turned with an allen wrench.It is also listed as a new product.I was asked by the Comp tech if I'd rather have a different timing set.I didn't know and setteled for just another dowl pin.The more I hear the more I doubt this set up.Releiability is on of the most important considerations.My wife asked me if this could happen again.My answer has to be yes.This happened while being turned by hand with a long boxed end wrench. never spun by the starter.The cam gear did spin on the cam.the back of the cam gear was gouged by the broken pin still in the cam.If this happened while running the cost would end it I'm afraid.Working on it again while not having to make all the changes I have over the last two years would still be more than I'm prepaired for.it has to work great and last forever.Probably not going to happen.I'm not looking forward to looking for all the instructions and receipts to resolve this. I don't even know what I want instead.But now I'll loose even more sleep and wait for parts to show up again.
