Fitted the cam followers with their cam lube from kent cams.
Looked at fitting the earlier timing chain cover and back plate, but instead kept the cover and backplate for the tensioner.
Fitted the backplate with most bolts temporarily to check cam end float, which I have never done before on this engine.
AND YIP the build is coming to a grinding halt, the end float is miles out, so need to have the cam sprocket machined down to get within spec.....
Fitted the oil pump and new gasket on the other side and have to get 1/4 inch longer bolts.

Own some minis, break them, fix them, improve them, test them to the limit....
