Are you talking about the little hardware on top? Try a better picture. That one is fuzzy. I can't tell if its a pipe plug or an Advil tablet.

The Black one is Cam Thrust Button and The brass one is Cam degree bushing

Do you have a retrofitted roller cam?

C'mon,,was the blower the only table you had open or u just shown off

Without that button against a retro cam you'll have definate catastrophic failure

That bushing would really help as well,,,,at least w/ timing,,,but believe it or not I've taken a timing chain cover off a motor that had some miles put on it w/o that bushing,,,,,ran like ***** but it ran.

Not a roller cam...Just a mild comp cam with roller rockers.. So that means I don't need it correct? But what holds the cam in then??? Chain there is not plate on this block.

LOL Blower was the only clear placeto take the photo lol

Thanks for the help guys.

Wait, not a roller cam, and running roller rockers? Don't think you can have it both ways, as flat tappets have a taper which keep it from sliding out. Roller cams don't have it, thus the need for a cam button.

You can actually have roller ROCKERS with a flat tappet,,,just not roller LIFTERS,,,at least I've never heard of it????
You don't need the cam button.

Oops, read that wrong, or atleast misinterpreted.

Disregard my post.
