Default cosworth cam difference's?

Does anybody know if their are difference's in camshaft thickness's?

reason being is i bought some adjustable pulley's and have gone to fit them and they are to big, internal hole is bigger than external size of camshaft.

have a few standard pulley's lying around and one of them is the same size.

are 2wd and 4wd different at all?

thanks for any help

Afaik they are the same size, on this area.
I've never seen any different size, unless some ones mixed up a jackshaft pulley, or a pinto one got in the mix!!

I meant when you said about 1 of your std pulleys being the same size that you may have mixed up a jackshaft one thinking it was cam pulley ?

I loaned 2 adjustable pulleys to someone years(about20) ago, and forgot who it was, must be honest though, as not given back!!

no mate, i might aswell buy new one's if i was going to go to the trouble of getting them machined to fit.
