Have been reading up here on shimming camshafts, so armed with a selection of shims and new oil seal for the inlet cam started yesterday what seemed to be a straightforward job.
Confused at the first fence.
![Surprised :o](./images/smilies/icon_e_surprised.gif)
So, unscrewed the a/r centre bolt which does seem overlong at nearly two inches, then realised there is a larger diameter thread in the first half inch or so of the shaft so obviously, (eventually!!) realised the screw just taken out was not going to help in popping off the a/r unit as it simply screwed into the shaft.
Luckily found a screw that fitted the larger thread then was able to insert a plain spacing rod which when the screw was nipped up on it and tapped lightly, did the job as we expect it to.
Remainder of the excercise went smoothly, but it was a bit of a mystery with the two different thread diameters, as I've seen no mention of it anywhere.
Anyone seen this before?
Cheers,
Steve
