    Hello,I am swapping out my cam in my Detroit. The issue seems to be the bolt to the timing will not fit in my new cam. Both cams are off a Detroit 60 series 12.7 but they have different part numbers. Mines is 23521680 and the new one is 23528309. What could possibly be so different on these two? Could I just put a bigger bolt because both cams are identical, it just that bolt that goes to the timing goes right through the new cam
