350 SB Gear Drive Headache
350 SB Gear Drive Headache
I been building a SB 350 to put in my 66 Chevy fleet side long bed and decided to put in a quiet double roller Timing Gear Setup and I have run into 2 issues and I don't know how to proceed. First Issue is the Bronze Thrust Washer is not thick enough and it seems like it would fall down off the back of the Cam Gear and Rattle around on the cam itself. The dept of that the gear that sits on the cam is 2.60 mm and the full length of the cam sticking out is 4.60 mm. That leaves a 2 mm Gap for the 1.50 mm thrust washer to come off. Second Issue is that the Cam Button is Way way to long to fit between the gear and the timing chain cover but I never had one on my chain setup nor did I have a thrust Washer. Any help would be a great help to this engine building newbie.
