I was replacing the bearings in my D15 series II this weekend and noticed the oil pump drive pin in the camshaft was a nail. I thought I could get the nail out and drive a rollpin in its place, but that was a bad idea. Now I have the nail half out and the rollpin half in and I am stuck. I now have to remove the camshaft so I can fix this mess. Does anyone have a solution to holding the lifters out of the way while you remove the camshaft? Heavy grease, magnets, etc.? When I put the new main bearings in I had 14 thousands of end play and specs are 4-8. I shimmed the front of the lower thrust bearing and have the thrust down to about 3 thousands, but the caliper says it is only this tight in one spot. I figure it should wear in a bit and and shouldn't be a problem. Any comments And just who would use a nail in an engine for the oilpump drive? I can see it on external farm equipment where a sheared pin doesn't much matter, but inside?

Who would use a nail for a drive pin? Maybe a farmer, on a Sunday, who had to bail hay NOW, because it was going to rain soon. Then he forgets about the nail because it is working, and something else breaks down.

A nail as a dirve pin? Why how dare they. Dean you aint seen nottin yet.
I would turn the engine head down and the lifters are out of the way as long as you have the rocker arms off.
You might think that getting the engine up side down is a big job now but if a lifter slips down on you, you will end up doing it any way.

On some tractors I have used wooden dowels and fitted them to the push rod size. Then I put them in the top of the lifter and pushed the lifter up and put rubber bands around two of the dowels to hold the lifters up.
