Camshaft thrust plate and key: specs and do's 120-130

posted by  someone claiming to be Rhys on  Wed May 4 10:11 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I often just flip the thrust plate over and use the unworn side. Because of the helical cut of the gears, the thrust direction is always rearward. I have never found a spacer ring to be undersize.
The location fore and aft of the cam in the block determines the lifter contact pattern on the lobe, so when it moves too far aft, it changes it for the worse - somewhat increased noise, and wear.
I also polish any used gear hub at the contact point to the thrust plate, and ensure that the oil groove is still acceptably deep.
