[Spridgets] Cam removal on 1275 in car

[frog.aye]

Vizard used strong magnets on some kind of rods to lift the followers clear of the cam. B He held them clear with clothes pins. B There is a picture in his book somewhere in the discussion of cams. B Although the engine was on a dyno,there's no reason you can't use the same approach in the car.

Hello all,

is it possible to remove the camshaft on a 1275 with the engine in the car?

Is it remove the head and pull the followers out the top or does the engine
have to come out?

Lester

.. don't ask.
