Change cam. you got a 1275. Engine out, Gearbox off. Cam out, new cam in. timed in, new follower (before cam I should say).

Buy a haynes and read it up. Or read the other thread on the subject. It's an engine out job reglarless. Unless you got a flip front.

When changing a cam it is also advisable to renew the cam followers, hence the requirement to remove the box.... but you don't hae to, just turn the engine upside down and then the cam can be removed without loosing the followers
