BIG No start problem, please help - Page 4 - ZR-1 Net Registry Forums

Bolts from Haibeck, method used was the one outlined by Haibeck and also by Milstead. The extent of the cam damage? When you look at the cam from the front, you see the snout is a 300 or so degree circle with a flat portion, to keep the timing plate from rotating. The very tip of this snout, about 2 mm deep, and part round, part flat broke off of the cam. Radially thie broken piece probably spans 20 degrees, if even. I was amazed as I was not giving the cam hardly any torque. To turn the cam at this point I was using a 19mm box ended ultra stubby wrench designed for tight places. It is maybe 4 inches long, so the torque I was applying was absolutely minimal. I figured the damage was irrelevant as the bolt and washer do not touch this part of the cam when they are torqued down.
