Fitted the cam in the block. Was very happy with the fit in it's bearings. Pounded in the cam endplug.
Endplay and runout = 0.004". Pulled it and tried to pound the gear alittle tighter but that was it.
0.004 is within specs so I reinstalled and used red threadlocker to keep those 2 thrust plate screws good and tight. Don't want them coming loose under operation.
Taped and started painting the head and did alittle touchup on the endplate. Course I managed to get alittle overspray on the gears...
So I want the head fully painted and dried out by the time I get to installing it and putting it together.
