Default Re: Valve timing

Well, after the whole day today ,I finally found the problem ,
The two holes in the cam gear that the fitted bolts go in,were worn about .010 over.PLUS the the fitted bolts that hold the cam gear on were.worn .005 undersize,
So I went through my cam bolt supply and came up with a set that were.3125 diameter,then fitted a new alloy cam gear( I didn,t know this was in my stock), this fixed the problem and checked it again, with my checking using no lash it then came in VERY close to the ford specs in my info.
So its all bolted up and waiting for me to make the full flow stuff and finish the assembly.
I learned some stuff this last few days.
Wife Carol said I wasn,t allowed in the shed tomorrow as I was to worn out after the last few days.
