Cam thrust plate options?
Race Ready Fabrications on March 14th 2011, 10:24 am
Are there any good alternatives to the stock deal? Seems I've chewed up a stock one when the cam bolt worked loose. Found a couple of roller bearing deals. Are they worth the money ? Thanks Brian

The bronze plate i.m.o. No machining required.....just bolts on.

if its a roller cam, use a thrust roller style plate,friction is reduced

No more wear than I have seen on my deal over the years with the bronze thrust plate, I think I would swap having the chance of all those tiny rollers getting down into the oil pan and maybe causing problems for the plate.
Just my 20 years worth of bronze plate experience.

Just run over to Lem's and pick one up, or call Shawn in the parts department (270)278-2376, and he can ship one to you. He has them in stock. I had one in Krisse's 533 unit and it did fine,,,, that was like 3 or 4 years ago and that engine is still in service.

I have tore apart 2 different engines w/those roller bearings in the pan. So it's Bronze for me also.
