Need quick help with cam install - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

I'm swapping my cam from my old motor into my new one because the ew cam wore a flat spot, now I can't get the chain to get back up to the sprocket, it's like a 1/2 inch short of it, NEED HELP.

Nevermind, I had someone help me out, for anyone that is going to do a cam install in the near future. MAKE SURE THAT YOU PUT A SHIM IN BETWEEN THE CHAINS IN THE TENSIONER. If you don't you will lose the the spring and rod in the oil pan. Luckily for me the rod and spring didn't come off and drop down, but it still sucks. So remember the shim. Any questions just PM me or AIM me @ NismoButtnutz
