CAS disassembly photo (was: CAS wheel play?)

Postby tigerdog » Sun 10.10.2010, 01:39

Hmm. When I set Smaug's base timing a while back, I had a very small amount of jitter, say 1-2 degrees, in the timing mark when strobed. Certainly doesn't seem to have any impact on performance, so I didn't worry too much about it. The other day, in a fit of detailing, I removed and cleaned the CAS cover (anal? me?) and noticed it was possible to move the CAS wheel every so slightly by hand. I assume this should be rigidly coupled to the camshaft. Has anyone encountered this? Likely culprit? Likely fix?
Any photos of a disassembled CAS?

Could be something like this - if you've got that far then it won't cost you anything to eliminate it from your enquiries.
Striking fear into the hearts of duplicate posts everywhere...! :P

Why yes, it couid - and no, I haven't got that far... yet. When I do, I expect it'll be the drift pin holding the reluctor wheel to the shaft/drive. When I get round to checking/fixing, I'll snap some pix for wikilec.
