Thank you Tubman, I will try to confirm the cam application

Hello GOFAST, I only have pictures from the first engine and that one had as it turns out non adjustable lifters. I requested adjustable lifters for the second engine but I do not have a picture to review.

Hello jetmek, Hopefully the pictures better explain what I am looking at.

Hello flatheadmurre, I was told the valve springs are of the Lincoln Zepher type and rating. This may be nothing more than the wrong cover on two engines then. If I am understanding correctly, on 8BA motors, the dist drive gear on the cam actually rubs the front cover as it appears to do? I would hope cam thrust would be towards the block.

Again many thanks to everyones input, time and help

Respectfully

Marc
