: Hey everyone and Happy Holidays. If my memory
: serves me right,I think it was Charlie who
: talked about fabrication of a cam button
: onto a stock timing cover.I can't find that
: info now.Think you could run it past me
: again?I would like to do that to my cover
: while I'm waiting for my block in the
: machine shop.

: This is a good up-grade and easy to do if you
: have access to a welder.
: I have a special center punch which screws into
: the cam's tapped front hole and then I
: install the cover and push the cam forward
: to create a centered punch mark to drill by.
:
: I drill a 1/4 inch hole and use it to screw
: down a 3/8 - 24 unf nut. I weld on the nut,
: you can add a large flat washer to the
: backside to halp stiffen the area. I run a
: tap through the welded assembly, then use
: rocker arm "ball screw" and lock
: nut as the cam stop. I also grind smooth the
: bolt head "face" of the cam's
: timing gear mounting bolt.
:
: Once everything is installed, you can adjust
: the stop so there is .005 of clearance and
: lock it down. (do this before the oil pan
: goes on, so you can reach in and move the
: cam back and forth to feel the clearance)
