I'm ready to install the steel cam gear having already installed it's mate on the crankshaft. Looking at the green manual, I had concluded that the snout of the cam had an internally threaded hole which I could use to draw the gear gently into place. However that does not appear to be the case on my cam. I'm certainly not going to tap it, even lightly, with a hammer, but I could rig up a bar across the gear and use a couple of the timing cover bolt holes to draw it onto the cam. My question is whether this would put undue stress on the cam and consequently the plug at the rear.

Thanks,
