Cam Trouble
I installed my new cam today and after I put the thrust plate on I noticed that there is about 1/8 inch of play when you move the cam front to back in the block. Is there maybe a spacer that is missing or did I incorrectly install the cam? Any help would be appreiciated. P.S This is my first time installing a cam so bear with me.

check the pin in the end of the cam. make sure it's the right one, there are two...if you have a two piece fuel pump thingy you need the short pin. If it's a one piece thingy you need the long pin......can't spell that fuel pump thingy thing...lol
good luck

Yes, just the thrustplate is installed. when the timing set is installed it should keep the cam from moving back? should there be any movement when the timing set is installed?
Thanks for the help so far
