I bought a 1973 RT3 about two months ago. I noticed a slight leak from the bolt for the cam stopper so decided to change the crush gasket. What I found is the cam stopper stuck inside. See photo link. Shifting is not a problem but it is hard to find neutral. Any ideas on getting this out?


 

Try submersing it in a liquid degreaser for a day or two .

 Whit.

Once it is all free, you should find that there is a spring sitting within the stopper. This makes it sit out of the top of the hollow bolt, but should be easily depressed with finger pressure.

The bolt and spring came out but the pin is stuck inside the engine. I am going to spray PB Blaster all around it for a few days and then try a magnet to pull out.

Yes, that might work.

Maybe a couple of gentle taps with a screwdriver or similar will be enough to loosen it.
