Removing the cams out of the ISX

This week in class our group finally got to the point where we could remove the cams.
After spending half an hour on Cummins quickserve we asked Starkey for help.
We figured out that we had to rotate the engine by hand and align the marking on the dampener and bottom timing cover to make sure the cam and crank we in time with each other. After that we inserted a pin into the alignment hole to lock the crank in place and also wedge keys to lock the cams. Now we get to remove the timing gears and cams next time at WSCC!!
