the cam sprocket shim BLUES
 On my 2.2 rebuild, I placed the shims they way there were when I tore it down which was 4 on the left and 3 on the right. The right side is within .10 mm of the intermediate shaft which is good but the left side is off by a whopping 3mm after subtracting the 54.8 mm adjustment factor for the left. I took it apart once again to make sure the keyway wasn't jammed and to be sure the thrust washer had the bevel facing toward the cylinders. Anyone have any idea how it could be that far off? |

Make sure your math is correct, off the top of my head is 54.8 and 51. make sure the cam is forward, put a screwdriver behind a cam lobe and force the cam forward. You should be doing all the measurments with the keyway put in place after the measurments are done. with it in place you have to remove the key each time you change the measurments.

When you tighten the nut. The cam moves to the nut. The screwdriver just helps the nut along.
Tighten the nut and do the measurement Be sure the chain gear concave side is facing away from the cam. Bruce |
