Default 2wd cams into 4wd head

Im swapping all the bits off my old 2wd head onto a fresh 4x4 one.
Other than 4x4 cam bearings and seals is there anything else i need to do in order to make them fit?

i know 4x4 setups run with a spacer but is that still relivant when using 2wd cams?

Thanks

dont think so as the bearing has the extra part on it so no need for the spacer , front caps are different too as holds the bearing differently

Yeh I've discovered it can't be done. Know of ppl who run them but the belt doesn't sit bang in the middle of the pulley, not a risk I'm willing to take!

Got an old pair of 4x4 cams stored away that will just need the lobes scotching so will use them!

Cheers
