This is an embarrassing question to ask. Be gentle...
I've been sidetracked doing body beating and I'm finally finishing up the rebuild of my BN4 engine and am putting the new gear on my reground cam. The bottom of the engine is already closed up. I suddenly realized that the cam is able to slide quite far into the block and getting the gear on far enough on to the end of the cam to get to the threads isn't easy. Did I miss something on the far (back end) end of the cam which keeps it from sliding in? I can't see anything in the manual. What holds the cam in position other than the single retaining plate and then the cam gear? I was expecting to tap the gear onto the cam but I can't because the cam slides in too far. I fear I missed something important inside.
