You could also try to thread a longer bolt into the cam cover side and give some light taps.

So far not so bad, Fay dumped alot of rain, The community just north of us got flooded pretty bad. We're watching Hanna hoping it goes the other way. We got two back to back Hurricanes in 2005 that was enough for a lifetime. My truck still looks like somebody took a crowbar to it, from all the flying branches.

Good deal dailyrdr if you are doing much more on the shovel head you might consider getting an OEM service manual to help you along the way.

Good to hear all is going OK Filthy
