Does anybody know if it is possible to replace the gear on the end of the camshaft that drives the cam sensor? My oil pump gear froze and destroyed the teeth on the cam sensor and also the cam. I did'nt see any obvious way to remove it. Thanks in advance

Thats what I was afraid of. What type of cam should I go with? Since I am going to be into the motor anyway, should'nt I go with an upgrade? What else should I replace while I'm there? Please keep in mind that I am on a serious budget. I noticed there is a cam and lifter set in the Parts for sale section. Would this be a good selection for my mostly stock combo? Sorry for all the questions, I am relatively new to the world of turbo Buicks.

if you want budget then you can go with speedpro cams they work real good.
the one i have in my hotair motor acted completly stock but more power when foot was applied.
i get my motor parts from northern auto parts ...1-800-831-0884
they have really good prices.
the cam in my hotair motor is part # cs1112r and lifters #t969
i went down to 13:0's with this cam at almost 105 mph
keep in mind the stock turbo was choking it at this point.

Is is possible to remove the oil pan with the engine still in the car? It looks like a pretty tight fit. I am planning to replace the cam and lifters, the waterpump, timing set, and also the oil pump. Is it a good idea to replace the pushrods and valve springs while I'm there? What about head gaskets? I have had this car about two years. It was really abused before I got it. The motor is tired and I am trying to prolong rebuilding it until the summer when my money gets a little better.
