460 thrust plate

hi. i need some help. how does the thrust plate for the cam go? they had the 2 slots facing the timing cover and water pump. it looked like this. i have the haynes book and they dont say.which way it goes

slot 1-------> / both slots facing the timing cover and water pump

slot 2-----> /

they had it this way was wondering if its right before i install it and the cam tomorrow and drop the oil pan to clean it. i need surgery monday and the weather man said its gonna rain cats and dogs monday so i gotta get it weather tight before sunday look's like a christmas day project to .

thanks
michael

I've run those flipped over when rebuilding an engine (wear side out)to make sure I had a flat surface against the cam. Didn't appear to make any differance or cause any problems.

The grooves act as a channel for oil to lube the thrust surface. You can run it smooth side inboard but you reduce the life of the thrust plate.
