Re: [HSS] 1920 engine parts

Unknown

Martyn, originally the camshaft flange bore against a fibre thrust washer,

which was held in position from rotation by a peg in the cylinder block.

The peg was just a piece of bronze rod, and the thrust washer had an offset

leg with a hole which fitted over this peg. There is a spring and thrust

stud in the front of the camshaft which bears against a asurface inside the

timing cover. Unfortunately I only had two '20 camshafts, and these have

both gone already, sorry. However, I'll see if I can find another and let

you know. I can get you a crankshaft most likely, but freight would be

prohibitive from N.Z. Happy New Year, I hope you are surving the U.K.

weather.

Geoff.
