You will never pull one out with a magnet unless it's about to fall out, I had a 12 valve and the pin was halfway out, I still couldn't move it with pliers or by hand, it took a punch and a hammer to drive it back home and then I tabbed it.

Like guys mentioned above, if your case is stepped just don't worry about it.

I'd take it that this is stepped so no worries on my part!

Looks like a stepped case to me, that pin is slightly larger then that hole, not sure why they even left a hole there. 

Ps, check all the other bolts you can see, you could even pull them out one at the time clean and three lock them.

I'm wondering the same thing.... And also why Cummins is making electric trucks now  Who knows why they do most of the weird things they do

Blind holes are a pain to drill.  (no where for the chips to go. harder to measure that the depth was properly met.  diameter measurements are harder)  ALSO Alignment pins into blind holes cause problems.  The trapped air can prevent the pin from fully seating (and if the press is too loose, the pin can compress the air, then fire itself across the shop...)  also debris can be in the bottom of the hole and not easily seen, so the part that is supposed to be aligned may not make down to the surface properly.  I will always try to have at least a small through hole for a pin and larger for tapped holes for chip/debris clearance.

Why is there surface rust on the cam gear is my question.

I checked mine about 3 months ago, pin tight but 3 bolts in case were loose enough to cause concern, loctited every bolt inside the case and tabbed the pin

Makes me want to pull my cover again and check my bolts. Might explain the weep oil leak behind the case.

Thats why I checked mine, did a water pump and noticed a weep on the flat part of the case underneath the water pump, turns out bolts around that L shaped peice of case was loose

Give up. You'll never finish that list. I'm still fixing crap and adding back to the list.

The only way I'll give up if I have money for the 4th gen, otherwise I'll keep fighting the fight
