1937 camshaft nut locking washer

Posted by Cli55er On 2016/12/22 16:22:25

putting the timing chain on the 37. go to put the locking washer on before the camshaft nut. there is a woodruff key cut out in the locking washer....but the woodruff key that holds the cam gear does not engage the lock washer.

pulled the gear off...put on the locking washer and the hole in the washer is not large enough to fit over the camshaft gear shaft to even come close to engaging the woodruff key.

the only thing I can think of is that I'm missing a woodruff key that slides into the camshaft gear and then engages this lock washer. but I don't remember seeing that.

without that washer being locked in place via the woodruff key...it is useless to even use it to lock the nut.

I only see a #9 woodruff (whitney) key in the parts book, which is what holds the camshaft gear. no other part number for anything that holds the lock washer for the camshaft nut.

thoughts?
