I am rebuilding my 1958 Massey 50 with z134 engine. All has went pretty well until I put the new camshaft in. After I bolted the thrust plate on the front, I went to check the camshaft endplay. My factory manual says it should be .003-.007. The problem is this cam moves in and out well over .100. There is a ton of play in this. When I look into the where the three cam journals in the block are the ones on the cam look like the cam hangs out the back of them quite a bit. I don"t think this is right. I am unsure what to even think. It looks like I could drive the plug in the back of the block inwards and it would correct this problem, but it is already flush with the back of the block.
Has anyone run into this and have a suggestion?
