    assuming you have removed retainer plate and lifters, gently pry forward on the cam while turning it, after squirting either carb cleaner or wd-40 on each cam bearing. often on a hi mileage engine there are deposits of oil sludge around the cam bearings that make things difficult. reinstall the cam gear loosely to give u something to turn it with. be gentle, but firm.
