Thats an impact breaker bar tho, you hit it on the black head with a hammer like you described.

If thats not it would be interested to see what your using.

this is it. socket on the end. smash the other end with a hammer. 10 billion times easier than breaker bar. Delivers a single impact which helps loosen the bolt

**TbM** · 30-03-2012 10:23 AM

Think repco sell them. $100ish. I just borrow my old mans

no need that tool if you have 3/4 rattle gun.

add $50

for $150, find yourself a rattle gun @ the markets.

took a iphone pic of my cam gears, how do they lock up? (no i havent set it to TDC yet as i still need to do the tappets)

Look on top of the cam rails, there is holes. A tool goes in the hole which locks the camshaft to the cam rail. I don't advise doing it with this method unless you have the right material bar to put in there, time and time again people use tool hardened steel which just snaps when loaded with a shear force (screwdrivers, punches, etc). Next thing you know you have to fish out the piece of metal stuck in the hole/head or even worse, down the oil gallery.

If the cam does rotate, you can't lose which way it went. The honda cams have very good markings so you would have to be a severe dingus to get a honda cam 180degree out. The crank pulley should be lined up at TDC mark, the cam gears should be lined up with the "UP" facing up and the horizontal marks lined up with the casting marks on the plastic backing.
