[lcw1980]

The shaft snapped broken on my first and 2nd CAS and now I'm on my 3rd CAS . Anybody know whats causing this and how to check? Its getting pretty expensive

you still got the dows in the head that locate the cam belt cover?

yea make sure both dowel pins are in place, not just one. sounds like you have none in place if your snapping the shaft.

dowel pins? anybody have a pic? I mean, how they look like and where they are supposed to go?

They are cylindrical in shap and they fit into the timing belt cover-side of the head. Those cylindrical dowel pins act as guides for the upper timing belt cover to properly align said timing belt cover to prevent the issue you are having now. Remove the upper timing belt cover and you will know exactly what you're looking for and/or missing. If you need another CAS, let me know as I have a couple of good ones left.

Hey thanks. You'd be willing to send to Malaysia?

As long as you don't mind paying for the shipping. I purchased some really great CA parts from Malaysia, so it won't be new. Let me know.
