FE cam dowel pin
By Ed - 07/20/2001 11:38:07 PM; IP 152.163.205.67
Anyone ever run into a situation with the length of the dowel pin for the Timing gear /Fuel pump ecentric. During assy of a 428, I find the pin is not long enough to engage the ecentric. I have checked the pin for correct length as per the Ford Master parts catalog and It is the correct 1.5" in length. The hole in the cam is the same depth as 3 other FE cams I have and the Timing gear is within 015. in thickness of the original gear I had. Should the pin be free floating or be a interference fit (press fit) into the camshaft. Am I correct in assuming the pin should bottom in the cam and be roughly flush with the retaining washer under the cam bolt. Any help is welcomed - Thanks, Ed
