Hi guys, please could some have a quick measurement of the cam sprocket? I need to know the width of the sprockets (inc boss) but don't have a spare sprocket to measure!




Cheers

Matt

Just measured two of them, different makes but don't know what makes.

One is 19.3mm the other is 18.3mm

Cheers mate, thats quite a big difference!!

Am I right in thinking that there is some end float in between the sprocket and triangular thrust washer?

I think it's simply a case of how many turns you put on the retaining nut. By fluke there's an article in this months mini mag about cam drives and if you look at the pictures there's clearly a visible difference with regard to how far the thread extends past the sprocket.

you adjust the cam end float by machining that boss smaller (the 'step' on the cam-side).

Doesn't the edge of the sprocket run up against the triangular thrust washer as opposed to running against the end of the cam?
