There are two cam lock tools, one for the TC88 and one for the TC96. The 88 won't work on the 96 and vice versa

thanks for the reply, I didnt think they were the same. Would have liked to found one for $20.00 but guess will keep looking, not ready to change my cams yet.

That's been on my Ebay "watch list" for about six months now, but I keep wondering if I'll ever remove the tank. I guess I will eventually, but everything I do seems to be covered by just jacking it up, even removing the rocker covers and replacing the IAC motor. The $50 cost makes me hesitate, too. I think I'll procrastinate (my greatest skill) and buy it just before the first time I need to remove the tank.

I agree with removing the tank and going through the rockers with the pushrods. Nothing like the piece of mind of solid rods. You can even go a little bit bigger on the drill if you want. I have used a 1/8" drill the last couple times. As others have said, make sure you release the quick disconnect at the tank.

Dawg, WHat is this #43 drill you talk about ...drilling the pushrods? I understand getting the Lube passages bigger on the pushrod but are you talking about the ends only? Is the increased oil flow any better or should well enough be left alone? I picked up the Cams this afternoon from Wideopen...Nice guy. Swapped a few ideas around...I am calling Fuelmoto in the morning to order a installation kit. I am pretty sure still i am going through the top and keeping the stock rods. Just feels warmer and fuzzier...
