I made a mistake in my last post. I was thinking about the number of shims
needed to bring the crank sprocket out to the cam sprocket and realized that
the crank sprocket was already out too far!! I either need to move the cam
sprocket out (don't think this is possible) or grind a bit off the back of
the crank sprocket.
It was strange that there were no shims on the crank when I pulled the
sprocket. Given that the cam sprocket is now about 0.015" further out (I
used a thicket front plate gasket) and the crank sprocket is still too far
out, I wonder how bad the alignment was with the old thinner gasket?
I assume that the nose on all these cams are the same thickness?
Again, thanks for all the help. I didn't expect to have all these little
issues crop up.
