Inliners International Forums General Discussion Engines timing gear won't come off!

The timing gear has to be pressed off the end of the cam in an arbor press and this can be done cold. To get the cam out of the block you rotate it until when looking through the 2 holes in the web of the gear you see 2 phiilips head screws that secure the reatiner plate to the block. Remove the 2 screws, slip the cam out of the block, and press the gear off the nose of the cam.
