Well lads, just trying to fit a H&H distributor to the Vauxhall engine and there is a small ball bearing in the end of the exhaust cam. H&H reckon it should pop out with a magnet but there's not a budge. Any suggestions? (was thinking of whipping off the cam cover and seeing if there was any to put an airline and blow the little sucker out?)

hmm, shouldn't be one on a C20XE as std, someone may have blanked it off.

No, a magnet won't shift it as it is there to hold back 60 psi of oil pressure.

Easiest to get a used exhaust cam from an engine with no plug in there, which is most of them (all ones with dizzy as std)

I have a cam I can post if you want, yours for the cost of post

No idea why there is two of my posts here...
