Cam pulley bolt.
I broke mine off in my head while adjusting cam timing. (stock cam gear)
Im wondering if moving the cam gear bolt (tightening) is the recomended way to do this... or is there a safer way to adjust cam timing w/o using the crank pulley....

What the hell are you talking about?
If you don't have an adjustable cam gear, the only other way to adjust the cam timing would be to move the pulley a tooth or so.

When I adjust cam gears I loosen the three to six adjustment bolts (depending on brand) and then spin the inner portion of the gear to where I want it by turning the pulley bolt one way or the other. How did you manage to break the bolt off?

It is a stock cam, not an aftermarket adjustable one. I did the same thing, turned the gear's bolt to move the cam. Unfortunatly it snaped in the process. -- My guess would be, since the bolt's thread is one size, and before that is about 2mm larger it allowed for play on the bolt as I was moving the cam. I must have shifted the weight on the wrench just enough to break it.

CAM GEAR
DON'T PUT THE BOLT SO TIGHT NEXT TIME. IF YOU HAVE THE TOLL TO ADJUST COIL OVERS IT WORKS GREAT IT FITS PERFECT OVER THE CAM GEAR. :monkspank:

well option 1...back the bolt out and find urself a new one...option 2 (not advised) tap the belt off the gear evenly and softly as to not damage it, then using a screwdriver move the gear (mark a tooth on the belt and cam gear to see how much u adjusted...then when u have it where u want use the screwdriver and turn the cam till it moves back on because its to hard to just put on...but i wouldnt advise this as i said earlier, ive done it on occaision but it was a "have to do it now" situation..
btw..you can adjust the timing with your dist. too...

by moving the distributor, you're changing IGNITION timing, not CAM TIMING.... two TOTALLY different things.... Not trying to be a dick, but if you don't know exactly what you're talking about, please don't post. No advice is better than bad advice....
