Now on to the crankcase. Installed bearing outers
Also replaced the timing side cam bushing with the earlier (and later) bushing (below, PN 06.3020) that has a shoulder. The stock bush for the '72 did not have a shoulder, but rather a tabbed washer on the camshaft where supposedly the tab may brake off inside the crankcase.
The '72 bush is flush on both sides of the crankcase shell, however the earlier/later bush seems to protrude a mm or so into the timing case (see arrow below). Is that a problem? Looking at pictures and videos on line, that seems normal and not a problem
Oh, i found it interesting that although I thoroughly cleaned the crankcase shells (see post #220 on pg 12), when i heated up the shells to drop in the bearings, a bunch of old oil oozed out of the pores. It was amazing how much old oil is in there
