Option 1
Take the head off.
Option 2

Option 3
Take engine out and fit camshaft.
Option 4
If still in tin top wait until gearbox removal/clutch change, then jack back of engine and remove/refit camshaft through gap between bonnet &
windscreen. (done this it does work).
If in Kit car, can the front bulkhead/instrument binnacle be removed.
Explanation ------- the front journal is smaller than the middle journal which is smaller than the rear journal.
Hope this helps.
