Thread: Rods hitting cam, Cam gear scrubs block..

Tweet

the stock rods will hit the cam and the 1/4 of a grams will not do much if the the rods hit they need to be trimed . you will not see it cutting them two rods.the oil roping the crank when running will throw it that far off than that . l like to get them to a 1/4 grams to. but things will happen inside the engine that you have no control over like the oil roping if the rods are on the same journal .you will be ok or try if not you are still ok. a small base circle cam may work if you do not want to nip the rods. if the crank gear is off you are saying the cam gear is in how much .002to.004 ? if so i would not do any thing if more then you will have to do something and find out what is off cam set or crank or crank gear it many be shimed with a thrust washer or try a new chain set and on the oil pan if you take your time and heat it to red were it needs to be hammer and hammer it in the spots it needs to move it works ok. will work better if you have a body hammer and a backer like a dolly or a chuck of thick steel
