Let me clear up a bit why we place that button in there. It isn't meant to ride on the front of the cam, it's meant to keep any metal from contaminating the build in the event of what happened to Marc here. It would be hard to have the cam gear or cam run into the cover while that nylon button is in there. The button will stop the cam/gear from moving into the cover!

Thanks, Gary in N.Y.

P.S. Not sure still what Marc's problem is here but I was hoping to find out if his adjustable lifters had "flat-faced" adjusting screws where the valve tip resides?? The screw heads are designed to have a very slight radius, just like the face of the lifters where they ride on the lobes!
