I have another question for you /6ers that have been in these motors a couple times.
The cam on this engine... seems to have a whoooole lot of horizontal slop.. I can slide it in and out of the block close to 3/8 an inch..
This seems very excessive. IS this normal for these motors?
I do not even see a retainer or how these cams are kept in their journals on these motors. Do they just kinda free float in there and have the ability to move following the chain on the crank being retained by the chain and lifters?
Thanks again for all the infos!
Enjoy the nice days!
