You can put a shim under the bush, between the bush and the engine block. P=
robbly someone has machined the pedestal to get at the right clearance and =
has taken away too much material.=20

On page 1.130 and 1.131 of the Workshop Manual it describes the procedure f=
or obtaining the correct clearance or float for the distributor gear driven=
 by the camshaft. It gives two scenarios: one where there is interference o=
f the gear and the bushing; and a second where there is not enough clearanc=
e or float. What it doesn=E2=80=99t consider is if there is too much cleara=
nce between the gear and the bushing. That is the case on my TR4 engine. I =
had 0.016 clearance and added a 0.010 shim under the gear to get the desire=
d 0.006 clearance. Has anybody else had this experience? And what did you d=
o about it.=20
