Thanks guys for all the suggestions. I'm glad to hear its repairable! I bought this car 16 yrs ago when I was 19 and been through almost everything imaginable until this. Somehow this will work out it it's just going to take a little time.

1990C4S, I live in Orlando, FL.

After the pin sheared there was very small portion of the pin extruding from the camshaft but not enough to grasp with any type of pliers. Initially, I cut a slot in the pin with a dremel to see if I could apply some torque to loosen it but no luck.

I then took a dremel and created a coned surface into the pin to assist with drilling. I center punched but haven't been able to scratch the surface with a titanium drill bit. (Carbide next if necessary)

I do have the motor partially lowered with the muffler, mount, rear tin and lower rear valance removed to allow as much room as possible. I have checked the threads in the camshaft and they are fine.

I already have a new dowel pin, seal and a pulley is on the way but not a new bolt.

Does anybody know if the hole for the dowel pin is a thru hole?

I have not tried hammering on the pin at an angle with a punch yet so I will start here as this seems to be the most logical first step.

All the talk about welding a pin or nut to the dowel pin are great ideas, I just don't have the equipment on hand for this. If I rented a welder I had thought about reinstalling my old pulley to the camshaft with the bolt then welding thru the dowel pin hole in the pulley to the dowel pin face. Then remove the bolt and pull the pulley off with the dowel pin. This is essentially the same concept as stated previously. My only concern with this approach is my fear of welding the pin to the camshaft!

Considering I don't have a welder the idea of drilling a new hole with a drill jig is sounding real good.

Are there any issues with disturbing the balance of the crankshaft with a second hole?

Thanks
