Well spacer on order, cam slot fits the dog on the dizzy, so it's just the spacer to sort... In the mean time I setup my test rig box, filled the lump with oil, and pulled the plugs, then spun it over a few times.

So frustrating, and the delay is doing my head in for my deadlines.

I assume Ruchard that you did indeed check to see if your cam had the button plug in place that was used to extend the length of the post 42 cams to fit earlier motors? It would be a shame to order a spacer and find out that you did not need it by removing a simple plug...
We want to see the test fire video when you get there!

Richard it is amazing how much work can be done in the last week when the pressure is on, I think I did three months work in that last week.
