Cam bearing whizzzzzzzz

Post by SUZIE »

I am busy redoning a 1600 twin port engine, and can some one tell me why does the cam not have loose bearing like the other engine?

Because some @#$%^&*() (INSERT OWN SWEARWORD) used a 1200 or very early type three block with very small oil channels I bet you have 6mm studs on the oil pump.
