[QUOTE="davidd, post: 133652, member: 1177"] [ATTACH type="full" alt="Timing Chest Stock Desc.PNG"]39800[/ATTACH] The rear cam of the twin is the short one, which is used in the Comet. I replace spindles that are worn. It is reasonably common to replace a spindle with the first oversize spindle. If a larger oversize is required the installation can become complicated because the bigger the hole the more that it is likely it has lost its round shape. It then may take a little skill to install the spindle correctly. No peening allowed. Loctite itself will not hold a loose spindle in place. The case should need lots of heating before the cam spindle (or the others) should slide into the hole. There is no screwdriver slot in the Comet spindles as can be seen above. Someone probably put a slot in so they could tighten the spindle onto the steady plate to keep it from backing out of the nut because the crankcase had lost its grip on the spindle. David [/QUOTE]
