Quick and dirty.

I've got a CAM that was originally for a 95+ vented opti, the dowel pin was cut for a pre-vented opti. I'm assuming the pin can be replaced.

Anyone know how, or who, can do this for me?

Thanks!

EG

Are you sure it was cut? I was just reading on one of the cam sites recently that you can tap the pin in to the correct depth on the 92-94 installation.....mabey this was done and you can just pull the pin out to the proper length? just a guess.

Not 100% sure, no, I just know it's way too short.

any machine shop can do this really cheap,but you have to tell them how long and what diameter the pin is. good luck
