I just pulled out the stock cam and am about to install my TF stage one. With the cam, came two small (about 1/4-1/2 inch long) dowels. What are these for? The stock cam has what looks to be one of the same dowels already in it, but the new cam does not. What am I supposed to do with them? They dont even fit into the hole on the front face of the cam so I'm kinda stumped.

Thanks,
Steve

In all seriousness it sounds like you have a problem. You probably already know that the dowel in the cam goes into the timing gear and is what makes the cam and timing gear spin together. You better find a dowel for that cam!
