Right, i am deeply considering a petrol can and lighter!!

my new cam has a recess where its meant to fit to the pulley, my pulley also has a recess as its a vernier. When i took the cam out the recess on the pulley was on the bottom to get the arrow lining up with the mark on the top of the head.
i lined up the mark on the head to the arrow on the vernier but as i was tightening the retaining bolt nothing was there to stop the pulley just winding into the head, the nut didnt get tight just kept pulling the pulley in until it nearly touched the head??

Firstly are the grooves on cams in the same place as the ridges on other, and secondly if the pulley is just holding the cam via the nut, is that enough??


My god,, help me

 

have you put the woodruff key back in the end of the cam????

 

Also have you put the locking plate back it that keeps the cam were its meant to be???

 

fook sake it thought that plate was the woodruff key

 

you have a lockin plate inside the head under rocker cover and the woodruff key is like a half moon witch goes into the cam under cam pulley.

 

oh shit, well i dont know what the woodruff key looks like and i havent taken anything out the old cam. \dont suppose you have a pic

 

wood ruff key will look like this.

 

so when i find it on my old cam, how do i get it off/out.

 

it should pull out with sum pliers its a good job someone has mentioned it lol coz it woulda scraped ya engine without it lol thanks tony

 

right cheers again lads, lets see what happens tommorrow

 

And you dismantled it ????-lol youve got half the thing's from your cam missing-------------
