QUOTE More likely the case was bolted up with the cam bearing out of position, but even that's hard to believe. Not really. The flange bearing is a tight fit into the camshaft and if the crank turns slightly while assembling the case halves it can cause the two cam bearings to overlap. I'm extremely diligent about this when I put case halves together and I've caught it trying to do this multiple times. But if that's what happened, the case is trash. No cost effective fix. And nothing you can do without disassembly that would be reliable in the long run. Plus if it was the cam bearings, then those bearings are TOAST as well. Nothing about that says salvageable. |
