Cam installation help/excessive endplay
Ok, so I got my '92 351w block all cleaned up, new cam bearings installed, painted, etc.
I installed the cam last night and I have got excessive endplay. The books I have been using for the rebuild don't have much info on cam installation and I figure I must have missed something pretty important.
It seems like the cam can move to the back of the motor too much. I installed a new cam plug when I did the bearings. Is it the cam plug that determines how far the cam can move towards the back? Do I just need to push the cam plug into the block further?
Thanks,
Joe
