Here's an informative sequence on this job. Watching this and hearing his rationale convinced me to take this approach: Nick Fulljames fits cam housing & talks ramps.wmv - YouTube |
Watching Nick on the video, I was surprised to see how little Loctite 574 he used. I believe Wayne's book mentions to bush on the sealant. Nick just makes a small bead and then puts on the cam tower.
What have you guy been doing?
