gazza01 Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 (edited) Is its safe to remove the old Camshaft Gear from Suby EA81 heating it using a Oxy/Acetylene torch, or is there another way, These Camshaft Gears on the EA81 are fitted using heat and they are cast metal and break up under undue force. Ive got to replace mine. Edited May 7 by gazza01 More information Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 I was told you’ve got to split the cases. I didn’t want to hear that too if that helps. Good luck. Post back how it got done please. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuspiciousPizza Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 A "more gentle" option may be an induction heater. If you don't have one yet, I'd recommend saving up for a decent Chinese one ($200 range), they work wonders. That way you're only heating up what you need to and you're not affecting the temper of the steel as much. I've never removed an EA81 cam gear, just my 2¢. Any machine shop worth their salt would tackle that no problem. :] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted April 29 Share Posted April 29 Please investigate before you decimate. If it’s in the block. Heat and pullers won’t do anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moosens Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 (edited) Sorry I read crank instead of cam. Cam gear on the EA71 is two small bolts. Same on EA81 Edited April 30 by moosens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
