i've never changed the cam plug.. doesn't rust due to oil not coolant behind.. guess it gave you a chance to check the cam anyway

I've had some with really nice gaps and others that were really bad. Luck of the draw. Start at the back and work forward. If your chasing nice gaps on any older ford or whatever car for that matter it needs to happen prior to paint. As Ando said rubbers fitted and door hinges bushed to eliminate droop. Really nice gaps will require levering, smacking them with mallets and hammers, or adding metal by welding or grinding edges back and rewelding to suit. If you aren't that keen its a happy medium I'm afraid. One that really shits me is the dog leg to back door. I don't think I've had one yet that doesn't have a way to tight gap.

That small plug is definitely the lifter gallery plug. I wouldn't bother replacing it for what your doing. If you do go to the trouble ensure you peen over the block like the photo grimmy put up. Those suckers are in the oil pressure gallery and you don't want them falling out. On race motors I tap them and loctite in a grub screw.

Barra will get out of hand also .. depending how fast/reliable you want it..

I also had to exercise the window frames on the doors to get a nice shape and fit as well.

Looks like this one , lifter oil gallery ? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

looks smaller than what i remember, you have the manifold off, should see the plug there in center where carby is(backs to the head)

Did you buy it online or in store, have a link or part number mate? It's hard to find people that stock parts for anything older then afew years now

at least one of the small plugs goes in the inlet manifold.. yeah, guess how i found that out...

Do they sell these as a whole kit or did you buy them individually?

I'm in the middle of building an au vct motor. They adjust 6 degrees from memory. It'll have a BW 66mm turbo. I'll let you guys know how that goes. Sent from my MI 5 using Tapatalk
