Team Idris Posted December 5, 2011 Share Posted December 5, 2011 Now I havn't got an oil pump for cam load, (dry sump) can I expect the timing to change slightly as the cam moves about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Team Idris Posted December 5, 2011 Author Share Posted December 5, 2011 Yes, that looks more likely Should have fitted a plate when I was in there really I guess. But didn't fancy drilling and tapping the block, Or mega jolt him. Or ignor the chance it'll make any difference at all ? As I come to think of it, the only 90 degree distrubutor drives I've seen, which have a chance of backlash, have an oil pump on the end.

zim Posted December 6, 2011 Share Posted December 6, 2011 I was always lead to believe, that the motion of the cam kept it pushing backwards - hence staying in place. It's not the oil pump that keeps it it running true. G (i fitted the retainer plate to mine just to be on the safe side) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
