I have a question for the group, especially those that have rebuilt
their 260's:
I'm in the process of re-assembling my engine and in the rebuild kit
I got I have a cast iron timing sprocket for the cam. It differs
from the aluminum and nylon sprocket it's replacing in that it
doesn't have a spacer built it. According to the manual I'm using,
Ford makes a C shape spacer (C20Z-6265-A) that's supposed to work. I
ordered one from a resupplier in Ohio but the part is 1/32nd " too
narrow. The spacer needs to be a full 1/4" wide or the cam freezes
against the block when the sprocket is bolted to the cam.
Has anyone had this problem and found a solution? I don't want to
re-install the old sprocket because the chain has too much play (at
least 1/2").
Any advice would be welcome. Thanks.
