Howdy,
So the bolt holding the exhaust cam sprocket on to the camshaft sheared off. I can't get the bolt off and want to replace the cam. I have seen a few OEM used ones for about $30. Or I can get a new one for about $220+shipping.

Do yall think buying a used one would be a bad idea?

Do you have the tools to remove the broken bolt out of the end of the cam?

No, apparently not. Already tried tapping it out and a bolt extractor with no luck. More I think about it the less attractive a used camshaft sounds. Think I'll just order a new OEM one.
