Then time for the cam bearings. I have a full set, plus an extra half with thrust edges.

Gears indexed--probably the easiest step in the engine build.

And cam bearings in the left case half. This is where the extra half cam thrust bearing goes, including the tab.
That should be everything before putting the case together for real. I will not install the distributor drive gear since I plan to run an electronic ignition with no dizzy. Attached thumbnail(s) |

Bolted and torqued. Hi, I did exactly the same but later had to remove the washers as the bolt heads were touching the oil pump... check it before joining the 2 engine halves... @kroelofsen , Thank you!!! You saved me hours of aggravation and expense. I owe you at least a six-pack. See below for what I found. |

I got out my new oil pump, a Shradek 26mm.

And slid the pump into place, with the cam as I left it yesterday, with the washers on the gear bolts.

So I pulled the cam R&R'd the bolts to omit the washers. Just high-temp red Loctite to hold the bolts in place.

But then found another problem. The rotor stud is bottoming out against the cam end, and so does not sit completely inside the pump body.

Checking the drive rotor, the shaft is not pushed all the way into to gear.

I also checked the clearance of the oil pump case against the end of the cam. The depth to the cam end is 38.85 mm.
