Well, first you need to know if your cam plate is leaking oil. You can easily check by touching the bottom of your cam plate with your hand. The smell. It will smell like burnt oil. Also, visually checking it you can see the build up at the bottom or on your overpipe.

After they break off I suggest using by hand afterwards. The reason because you do not want the bolts to drop. Your 30 minute job will be an hour.


Pry the cam plate off. Use this point it will be easier.
