Stroker Engine Build Cam Sprocket Installation

When pushing the cam sprocket onto the cam and its pin, put your hand behind the block so the cam doesn't fall out the back of the block (the cam retainer plate only keeps the cam from coming forward; the sprocket, with its built-in thrust bearing, is what keeps the cam from moving backward while the engine is running). The stock cam bolts are reused and torqued to 26 lb-ft.
