I put the front plate and cam back in yesterday on the TR2 block. The
workshop manual mentions measuring the endfloat, the tolerances are
really wide .004 to.075, something like that. My question, if I am
replacing the same cam and the same front bearing (I have a running
in the block type) how can the end float, as I understand it, have
changed?. My cam does move quit a bit forward and back, but when I
put the cam wheel on does this mean the movement is restricted by the
wheel bearing on the face of the front bearing ?.
On another note I used one of those thick black composite gaskets for
the front plate, this visibly moves the plate forward, should I have
used the paper type?.
Regards
John
