[QUOTE="Steve Morris, post: 133728, member: 3648"] Thanks Greg, yes i have a decent lathe and an once or two of common sense so should be OK. I am loathed to remove the engine and strip it at the moment as i have another project lined up, and i only really removed the timing cover to fit a new ATD, while i was waiting for said part i decided to have a rummage like you do and found the half time pinion nut loose and these spindle problems, hey ho... Just had a chat with Maughan and he mentioned that the new cam follower spindle is 0.375 whereas the old original was 0.374-0.3745 so I'm going to take a standard new one from him i think, and will have another measure of the original cam spindle tonight (measure twice, order once) but think its 0.5015, so Maughan suggested taking an 0.503 and then potentially linishing it down maybe 0.0005 if needs be. I plan like you mentioned to put a blower heater on the engine for a while to heat it up, then locally heat with a proper electrical heat gun, naked flames just aren't my thing unless I'm gas welding!! Thanks for your advice, i'll probably do a video of it when the time comes to fit.. [/QUOTE]
