  • 3.4 Engine Rebuild Assistance

    Ok, so i'm tearing down one of my 3.4's... I have it down to just about the bare block, but I'm having trouble getting the cam out. The problem is, the pseudo distributor plug/oil pump gear wont come out. I have all the bolts off of it that I can find, but it just rotates inside its hole in the top of the block. Am I missing something? The cam won't come out yet until this thing is gone.

    How do I get this thing out of the block? Pull, pry, spin.. am I missing a bolt?

    Thanks for the help..

      That's how I got mine out, channel locks on the lip and pull/twist as you wiggle the cam forward. Put the cam gear bolts back in to give you something to grab ahold of.
