Rearward camshaft trust is taken by the rear face of the aluminum camshaft sprocket hub, bearing directly on the front of the cylinder block, eliminating the need for a thrust plate.
Have those of you using a steel cam sprocket for several years, seen more wear on the block surface, compared to that of an aluminum/nylon sprocket?I would think the steel in the sprocket usually is hardened, but is the rearward trust large enough to make a difference in wear? This may typically be an issue where the oil film's quality make a difference.
Has there been available cam chain/sprocket kits using a trust plate or bearing of any kind?
A question for Doc (and others): Have you seen differences in wear pattern on block or sprockets when using a button to stop cam forward trust?
Just curious. (as always
