oe roller cam install tool?
Hello. I'm putting a lpe 219 in my l98. Motor is out. Everywhere I look I see tools, install handles for flat tappet cams. They say do not fit oe roller cams. I've installed flat tappet cams before and used bolts. Do you guys use the same thing for oe rollers? I don't want to nick the cam bearings. Thanks Chris

the bolt circle on a roller is smaller. however just use a long bolt, it works just fine

Turn the block up on it's end and drop the cam straight in.
