Good point,, you can use a Cloyes cover that has the thrust bumper built in.What type timing cover are you planning to use?
And takes the measuring out it as well. Probably the easiest way for somebody that is all that familiar with setting up camshaft end play.Good point,, you can use a Cloyes cover that has the thrust bumper built in.
The button is part of the Cloyes 9-231 cover.Right now has a stock style transdapt cover. I have to change it anyway because a roller timing chain will not clear it. If I go with the Cloyes the button is built in??? Long story, i bought a fresh built 427 and pulled all of the valve train out to put in my 454. This timing chain had a cam button in it, measured .730 seems a little short most I have seen for BBC are .945. I plan replacing the timing chain, cover, button and all. any recommendations are appreciated.
Thanks
.945" would be with a stock type steel cover,, .730 may work with aluminum, mock it up and see. In some cases a SBC unit works with the aftermarket aluminum covers. Comp and other companies make a composite plastic one that is pretty easy to shave down to get the clearance you want, but also easy to get past your goal and have too much thrust.Right now has a stock style transdapt cover.
