Fitting cam beargins just got easier!

[burgundyben]

I just got handed a set of the tools to pull in the cam bearings! Free and for nothing! From one of the chaps in the workshop at work!

Progress!

Gotta watch those free tools! Most of them come with a message. Like, will you help me rebuild my engine, or I'll give these to you if you teach me how to use them on, "MY" car.

It's only fair!

Wasn't that nice. A great thing to have in your box of tricks.

Are they steel or aluminum and can you post or PM me the dimensions? I'd like to make a set for my shop.

 

[burgundyben]

They are aluminIUM...;-)

I guess steel or even Delrin would be fine.

The sizes came from

https://www.mgaguru.com/mgtech/tools/ts206.htm

I'll try to fit them tonight and let you know how I get on.

 

[jlaird]

Size easy to figure, measure each cam journal, then measure the thickness of the bearing.

 

[burgundyben]

They worked perfectly, one set of nicely fitted cam bearings!

Many thanks to Barney and MGAGuru.

Printed and I'm off to the lathe.

I made both sets that I have from 7075T-651 aluminum.
