can the cam be removed in situ?

Can you jack up the motor out of the mountings to get enough clearance to slide out the cam? Gen2

Hi Carl,
You'll need two jacks because you have to disconnect the rear trans mount to get enough angle to clear the front cross member. But BE CAREFUL it gets a little tipsy with two jacks! I have done it.

Cheers

I removed the cam in my Gen2 with a single jack after unbolting the engine mounts, but the cross member was removed. I had about a half inch of clearance before the cam hit the AC condensor. (I had to unbolt the top of the AC condensor and lean it forward a bit to clear the cam from the engine.)

That is the key, then you may not have to unbolt the engine at all.
