Can thecamshaft of an A15 be removed easily while still in the car ?
Are the lifters an issue?
Thanks
Bob

If only. You have to flip the motor upside down due to the mushroom lifters.

Remembering just how easy it is to remove an A series, & how much grief you can get trying to do the job in situ, I think that on balance, pulling the engine is the lesser of two evils.

yeh the A series has a few design flaws.

the cam shaft installation/removal, sump installation/removal, oil pickup and valve springs...

the fastest time i have had the gearbox out of my ute was about 50mins, then considering all you need to do is 2 engine mounts nuts, fuel line, rad hoses and any little electric bits its about a 90 min job to have the engine out. and that isn't to bad i suppose.

Why do you want to remove it?
If you want a regrind, or to fit a lumpier cam, you'll have to get the lifters refaced anyway. Depending of course how much much you care about your engine.
