Stripped Cam Conical Nut
I knew this was going to happen. I had a tough time with several of the 8mm conical nuts in the cam housing - that hold the rockers to the cam housing.
The LAST one I went to remove did strip - in the head of the nut. Those things are sooooo shallow. Any tips as to removing??? This seems like a real bugger. The rocker is #5 - all other rockers have been removed. -Rob

I usually hold the 8mm and turn the other side, it's a 5 or 6mm. Remove the oil cooler if necessary.

Oil cooler gone, I thought Wayne's book said not to turn the 5 mm side, it could damage the shaft?

You may have it backwards. Either way, you don't have much choice now.

Sounds like a cool motor! I don't have any cams here right now, but John can set you up!
Cheers
