Re: A15 cam bearings

I agree that the previous owner caused the damage. I disassembled the engine some time ago and carefully removed everything. I don't recall putting any kind of force on the camshaft when I pulled it out. The engine must of been rebuilt at some point which is when this happened? I received my Clevite bearings this weekend and taking them along with the block and cam to the machine shop. Will post when it's done.

I have another question related to crankshaft end play. It measured .003 in. while I was keeping leverage on the crankshaft which is a little tight. Haynes manual calls out .002 thru .006. Should I have my machine shop shave some of the thrust bearing or crankshaft, or just leave it as is?
