I've heard of people using dowel rods before and had them work with no problem. I'm probably just gonna use some aluminum round stock from work, cut to length.
i've searched around and found a few how-to's on swapping cams, but all of them just do the "rotate the cam for about 60 seconds until you dont hear/feel a ticking noise" then they just pull out the cam, and put a new one in. I guess that approach works, the only thing I can think of is to place the dowel rods into the 2 oil passages just above the cam. iono.

that is the worse way to do it, i think they call that the roulette method, some people have not had problems but the few i did, it would not have worked and gaurantee the lifter woulda fell in the pan. your asking for trouble there.
i had the best success with the pen magnets but they are pricey when you got to buy 16 of them.
