Ok, so I got all my parts, pressed the new cam gear onto the cam and reinstalled, have lots of end play, is that end play gap controlled by pressing the gear on further and measuring the gap at the retaining plate?, also had the woodruff key move while pressing, so had to pull it apart again anyhow.
Other major question now is...are there torque specs for the cam retaining plate bolts, I can not find any torque specs other than crank bearings, head bolts and valve gap in any of the books, I have most of them, or do I just use standard torque for bolt size specs?
Another item of interest is, before I loosened the pushrods, I measured the gap on #1 cylinder and found the intake at .014, but the exhaust was .008 cold! Both should be .014 warm/hot, correct, I think that is what I saw in the books. What would be a good cold adjustment to get the engine running to start with, .016-.018?
