Assembling my engine. I noticed that the cam thrust bearing as a smaller tang. My case does not have the notch.
Since this is a smaller tang, designed a bit different. I am I supposed to tap it in place and let the action of bolting up the case crush it in place? I built a 1911 about 7 years ago, and I do not remember having issues like this. I am pretty sure I bought all my innards from Type4 store back then too. Clark Notice no notch in the saddle..... ? |

Nice! Minimizes risk of unwanted rotation.

Nice! Minimizes risk of unwanted rotation. Since I've been grinding off the cam bearing DT tangs (30 years) I have not heard or seen of one instance of a spun cam bearing. I use the KS (steel backed) bearings as I don't like the silverline DT sets. I buy two KS sets and one silverline DT set toss the extras and I have an extra trust to make two sets. In the past I've bought 911 intermediate shaft DT's, the hole is wrong, but you just put the 911 bearing half on the dead saddle. |
