Camshaft Thrust Plate

CNC-Dude said

I've looked at adapting several different factory thrust plates from other engines and it's very doable with little effort. The cam gear will need to be clearanced to create the end play, but its a minor thing. No roller bearing thrust button will be needed if you use a plate....

Right! That's what I was wanting to avoid, the thrust button. I knew the cam sprocket would need clearancing. I was just wanting to figure it out now, even though I'm not using a roller yet, I may want that option down the road. What my thought was, was to clearance the cam sprocket more than needed and have some shims made so that I could adjust the end play as needed, as each cam core may be a little different. Heck, it might not even work, but I'm just spitballin. lol
