Hi all , I've switched from body work to the motor. I removed the cam with fiber gear from my 48 cj2a motor no. 238965 this matches the no. given on the original title so assume original. Intended to use in another but changed plans. I can't find the timing mark on the fiber gear!! I have another cam and fiber gear from motor no.MC87367 which Rick G informs me is military around 1952 vintage. Both cams have no.641284 on them fiber gear is 641282 on 52 948137 celoron on the 48. I see the mark on the 52. Are these interchangeable? What about just switching gears? Thanks Wadoyado.

On the gear that has a mark, draw yourself a line thru the center of the shaft and thru the center of the key, out to the gear teeth, then count over from your line to the mark. Then repeat the process on the unmarked gear, and make your own mark. I'll bet if you look close where the mark should be, you'll find that it is there, but faint. BW
OH, yeah, they are interchangeable.

Bruce thanks for the tip. I'll go give it a try right now! I guess common sense isn't that common to borrow a quote I've seen on this form. Wadoyado.

OH, yeah, they are interchangeable. [/QUOTEIt sort of reminds of putting the timing gear on my old Harley. No keyway on the camshaft so you just made your best guess as to placement and hope you did it right. |
