New Tool from Bad Cam

Made up a new tool from a used up 318 camshaft.

For final fit of newly installed cam bearings on the small blocks.

30° angle cuts on the cam journals. Clockwise Cut, Counter Clockwise to back it out.

Polished all the Journals and deburred the edges so it won't gouge the new soft cam bearings. Same with the cam lobes, polished down all the sharp edges.
