C- When using 585G, 625G, or 640G camshafts (33-5248, 33-5249, 33-5250) clearance between the pinion bearing boss and the rear cam lobe

must be checked. See Picture 7 & 8. Remove just enough material to provide .030” of clearance between the top of the cam lobe and the
pinion bearing boss when the camshafts are rotated in the inner needle bearing. Also check clearances between the cam lobe and the
tappet guide bosses. To avoid contamination of the engine with chips, we recommend that all holes in the gear case be taped off with duct
tape and that the gear case be thoroughly cleaned with parts cleaner or solvent after clearancing is performed.

NOTE: Before reinstalling the cam support plate make sure the oil pump o-rings are in good condition and remain in place during following procedure.
