        Chilled iron. Very strong and very brittle.



        OP --- With the cheap replacements available, why take an unnecessary risk?

                Its not the easiest thing to do, but you CAN remove the cam without removing the head

                    Results.

                    I fashioned a hose clamp and a little piece of paper to hold down the chipped piece.




                    24 hrs. later and a little polishing with an emery cloth yielded results.






                    Hopefully she will hold (Godwilling).

                    Also, does this cam seal look like its pressed in correctly? I sacrificed a masterlock which happened to be the perfect size and hammered it in with that.

                    watcha think?
