After looking through every page that had anything to do with cams, camshafts, and any other term that I could come up with, I've still got a problem that I'm trying to get hammered out.
The car that I purchased last summer had a build done to it prior to my purchasing and in the mayhem, there was lots of damage done to the internal parts. The lifters were shot, the lifter retainers toasted, and the cam was done. My questions are as follows:
What are the differences between the figure 8 retainers versus the x shaped retainers? Are there any differences between the 302ci V-8 and 3.8L SC lifter retainers?
Also, as you're going from the back camshaft bearing towards the camshaft washer and bolt, what is the order of things? I believe that it goes camshaft, washer, thrust plate with 2 star shaped bolts, large washer, cam sprocket, synchronizer gear, washer, and then bolt.
Am I too off on this? I've got the parts that I need in the classified section, but the kind souls that are offering the parts aren't sure of what I need as the washers, before and after the thrust plate, are throwing them off. The ad is at http://www.sccoa.com/forums/showthread.php?t=89629
Thanks for the help in advance,
Julian
