This afternoon I took a depth measurement of the distance of the cam bearing from the edge of the PTO opening in the block - 9.8mm. By monitoring this depth it will be easy to see of a problem is occurring. More details and photos of this tomorrow

Installing the two camshafts and their Anti-Drift bolt/washer
Insert the IP timing camshaft.jpg
Insert the the IP timing camshaft...
install anti-drift bolt and washer .jpg
Install the bolt/washer which stops the camshaft drifting back out of the timing case. This is bolt no.7. It was missing on this engine when I stripped it all down but it has nothing to do with the problem of the camshaft drifting the opposite way.
close up of anti-drift washer.jpg
Note; the washer overlaps the bearing of the camshaft. I pushed the washer over with a screwdriver to make sure.
Install governor on timing camshaft.jpg
Install the governor. This was the original governor cribbed from the damaged camshaft.

Install the valve-gear camshaft and...
