camshaft and sprocket problem please help!
hi all. today i changed my camshaft to a crower stage 1. all was ok car started up ran fine for a while but wen i put the foot down i heard a knock and the car stopped and wouldent start. on closer inspection it turns out that the stud on the gear(sprocket) that slots into the grove in the camshaft broke off so the gear was spining but not the camshaft. so of corse i gota get a new sprocket but how can i match up timing again since its now f**ked up! any help would be great!
