The Cams
	Click on images to enlarge them
		This is the exact layout of the two cams that drive the exhaust valve and fuel pump. The circle was used as a reference and the cam was traced from the original cam. Those wanting an exact tracing can contact me. R&V part No. 33B

		*Left* shot shows heating the cam while using a bearing puller, it was extremely tight and we all know you take care with cast iron. The *right* shot shows cam half way off.

		Left: The cam removed, the hole on the end of the shaft has been placed there when it was modified to points and coil, it held a third cam in place to run the points. Normally the main cam is just keyed on. *Right:* Removable housing that contains the main bearing, the cam bearing and governor shaft housings. R&V Part No. 14B

		Left: Cam Gear - 36 teeth Right: Main crank bearing from removable bearing housing. These are a solid bearing with no adjustment, as you can see to oil comes in from the hole on top, along the groove and into a radial ring on both ends.
