Can you elaborate a little more on what the issue is? Are you talking about the steel plug inside the camshaft? First thing I`d look at is the relief valve whether it`s stuck in the closed position. Bottom of the oil pump housing, easy access. Removing the cams is doable, just not typicallly a fun job, as Bypro said.

But if you are talking about the green plastic plug with the metal insert, you don`t need to remove anything, just press it back on and deal with pressure in the crankcase at the AOS...
