The plate limits forward movement, and the cam gear on the timing gear limits rearward movement. Stick a screwdriver down the slot, and move the cam forward, and back. If it moves more than an asshair, timing cover at least needs to come off. Shine a flashlight down the hole, and do a visual on the cam gear. If you see wear, motor needs to come out. You likley have 1 of 2 problems. 1) A billet cam that requires a bronze or composite gear. 2) A bent distributor shaft or bent cam. 1 or 2 of every 10 cams I run across is not as straight as I want it to be, and I wind up pounding it straight. Low oil pressure is a terrible indicator. |
