Rich Rohrich said:Indy - If the cam gear slipped you should look closely at the cam chain tensioner as a reason why. If the cam chain "whips" the sudden load/unload/load sequence could be the reason for the gear movement.
IndyMX said:His problem was that the gear on the intake cam shaft had slipped. He checked ours, and sure enough, it had moved.
He reset it, and tig welded it in place, runs like a cut cat.
2strokerfun said:Indy: Just curious here. Are those gears pressed on the camshafts?? Looked up parts fiche and appears gear/shaft appear to be sold as one unit.
question 2: How the heck would an average person would even be able to recognize a slipped gear on the shaft? Is there a mark?
