Hi Rob. Same thing happened to me and a few others. I think this is a common
problem. I had to file the keeper down a bit to get it to fit. Since then,
someone suggested that the plug at the other end of the cam bore may be pushed
in a bit too far. Anyway, just carefully file or grind or sand the plate down
a bit and things will work out fine.
