I've just bought a new cam from a reputable cam grinder in the UK but on fitting it there is no end float, in fact there's negative end float and the cam locks up when the sprocket is tightened up. I'm using the normal chamfered thrust washer.
On measuring the cam, it seems that the timing side journal is 0.5mm too short to fit through the timing side bush.
My options are either send it back and wait another couple of months to get it replaced, or get a thinner thrust washer made.
The last option seems easier but I'll need to know what material the washer is. I guess it's a kind of hardened steel. Anyone know?
