1987 cam removal?

[Daniel Black]

How do you get the camshaft out of an '87 2.3. I'm getting ready for a cam swap but I don't see any way to get the old one out. With the motor mounts loose the motor can't go up very far before the trans hits the tunnel. Even pulling the cam gear off I still don't see how it'll clear the core support. Do you have to pull the head just to get the cam out?

How did you get the CAM out? I just ordered a roller cam and rockers. Not enough room to clear the core support.

I would think one would just pull the head. Might as well freshen things up... match port some gaskets
