Now my small wife can turn the cam by the bolt. She has to try, but she can do it!
So I've read so much about so many people doing the grooves cut on old cam method. Count me as another success story with this approach! It worked like a charm. I made two opposite diagonal cuts on each of the old cam's "journals," greased it up, installed, and turned a lot by hand. Then pull the cam, wipe it down very well, and repeat.
Old school stuff - I love it! I am really learning so much with this project, which was another main goal of mine. I can freely turn the cam by the cam bolt. It's not "spinning," but it feels much easier and very smooth.
I truly appreciate any and all feedback and value your knowledge I receive by your replies! Thanks again!
