cam pin broken

the cam pin in my sbf has sheared off. is it possible to remove it and how? Its a comp cam solid roller with a blind hole.

Drill & tap the remaining pin to a 10-32 and use a slide hammer.

. Talk to Red Jones or 61coon. I had one to shear off in my cam and ole Red got it out for me.

x2 and It would be a good idea to double pin it and if you buy a new cam ask for it to have a .4375 bolt too.

Larry, when you get that thing out......I'd be glad to mail you a Danny Bee 4340 pin.

is it a "soft " pin or a hardened one. will I need a special drill bit?

should I use 2 pins Lem?

it should be soft if it's like all the pins i've saw.2 pins would be a real good idea too.i guess you have some bent valves?

sure do lots of them

well I got the broken piece out. a lot easier than I thought it would be. it was a soft pin. center drilled it and out it came. no slide hammer needed.
