Ive never used a comp one, I have use both MSD and Mallory straight out of the box with steel gears and had no issue yet.
You can see the circular groves. Very very shallow but there nonetheless.
Gallery plug looks like normal welsh plug, Is it not a screw in one?
This is supposed to be f'n dart block or something so I for one hope they are screw in . This just gets worse the more photos he posts fkn sob.
Its ford motorsport block. Whatever that means
If i lift the gear, no way im getting 0.10 in there.See the slightly raised part on the bottom of the gear. I can only use say .003-.004 to clear that anything else hits it. If i press down with a .004 i've got to pull on it to get it out.Not sure if that explains it well enough
Is it a Boss block ? are the welsh plugs in the water jacket screw in?
What i am trying to figure out is whether the distributor was binding slightly when it was all new . this would wear the block out AND it would instantly kill your cam gear.I hope you are beginning to understand why i am sounding so anal about this particular issue and realize the seriousness of it.
DO YOU HAVE A DIAL CALIPER YOU CAN MEASURE THE DISTANCE FROM THE TOP OF THE BLOCK TO THE PAD AND THE BASE OF THE DISTRIBUTOR TO THE BOTTOM OF THE GEAR WITH?
No.What about verniers ?
.Take a close up photo of your front cam bearing AFTER you wipe the oil out.there should be a hole in the block on the bottom and the side that line up with the holes in the bearing.
your photos are way too small.is that a big wear groove in the retainer?I thought that too but looks to be the way it's made.is that a bearing on the one side?Yeswhat is on the back of the cam gear?what brand is it?Rollmastercan you check the cam end play?Yeah, ill go back a few pages to find it.
