- Just a quick video describing the steps and tools needed to install a cam gear on a camshaft that is a interference fit.
Do not use a press to install the gear, it will shave a bit of metal from the bore and the gear will slide off when you are driving it.
If you enjoy my videos. My son could use your help. He is suffering from Muscular Dystrophy. gofund.me/71156826 - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
One of your goodies just came in the mail. I love your customer service!
I think so too!
Great info here, Tom!
Thanks for sharing!
Gracias great job 👍
Thanks Tom!
Thanks for the video im.in the middle of changing the cam on my 216 engine, i need your help hopefully you can help me, can i reuse the old cam gear, and how do i take off do i just use a pulley, or do i have to preheated as well to take off thanks in advance
Superb video!
How did they do it with the old fiber gears?
Is that the same way to put the other gear on the crankshaft?
Thank you Tom. How do I get the old gear off the cam? It's a 250 straight 6 in a 69 chevy van
Two jaw puller.
Do you have any advice on this? I've tried to install my gear preciselly following iskys manual, however it didnt work (shaved a lot of alluminum from the gear). I removed the gear and I'll install a new one. I'm thinking about not using the iskys method (which is to use kitchen stoven) and heat it as you did, and maybe going a little further on the temperature...Cam is from isky as well
That is why I do it my way.
Tom What controls the END PLAY of the gear (between the block and the gear) once the cam is installed and bolted in with the cam plate. Is there a clearance between the gear and the block if the gear is pressed in towards the block OR can the gear back side touch the block? Thank you in advance. Bill C
First, a question for you. Did you watch the video? There is a thrust plate installed before the gear. It also has a spacer inside of the thrust plate. Dont forget the key
@@telowe2000 The machine shop installed the gear on the cam. Yes, there's a retainer on the cam behind the gear. I will use a feeler gage and see what the exact clearance is between the gear and block face.
Do you build engines for people?
Tom, is the gear aluminum or cast iron? I can't tell from the video.
aluminum
@@turbovan65 Thank you.
would it work to just through it in the oven?
Yea it would but it would take longer
I ordered the fiber gear oem style. How do I heat that up?
Did you figure it out? I'm in the process. Thanks
Ford 300 we just bolt them on. 😇
Too bad you also have to fix daily
Haven’t had any issues
Did you say 480 degrees?
Yes sir
@@telowe2000 thank you very much
I emailed you a question for a quote
If you absolutely had to press it on for some reason, couldn’t you drill and tap it for a bolt? It would be like a Chevrolet V8 at that point.
The bolt will not fit under the timing cover without putting a bulge in it.
Interesting. If that’s the worst thing that would happen then it’s possible to just modify the timing cover a little. But I did make sure to install the cam gear YOUR way this time around and I was successful.
Hey Tom. Do you post at www.speedtalk.com/forum/ ? If not, we'd love to have you!
PS... Someone mentioned your name in a Holden 9-port thread when talking about lumps and dividers so I came looking for you 😁
I do post over there but not often.
You know Don Terrill that owned it passed away not long ago, right? Mike Jones of Jones Cams bought the website and is trying to revamp it in memory and in honor of Don, getting more industry professionals back and posting there. He's also doing things like offering more incentives for people to participate...vendors mainly. We'd love for you to join us sometime. I think you'd like the changes so far.
