    Clearance Between Cam Sprocket & Cam Plate?
    « on: September 04, 2009 - 05:11:34 PM »
    Anyone know how much clearance there should be between the rear cam sprocket surface and the front of the cam plate on a small block?  I just mounted mine and after tightening the cam bolt with eccentric and washer on, I bet I have less than .004".  Seems like a tight fit but rotates fine.  I don't know what it should be.

    As long as there is clearance you'll be just fine. You really dont want much clearance anyway. Otherwise the cam could "walk" front to back.
