If you wait for failure, you will have to remove the oil pan to extricate all
the plastic bits.

Gene -
You do not need to run the excentric on the cam. Remeber the cam is spinning
at
1/2 speed and the amount of out of balance will not matter. Just make sure
your bolt doesn't bottom out or anything odd like that in the cam.
I have never run
them on any SBF due to electric pumps, I think that is the norm. Also as
mentioned it's a good investment to get a roller chain, not that much more and
a nicer part.

Tom, do you or any other "Lister"', know if the unused mechanical fuel pump
eccentric on the end of the cam at the upper timing gear is really needed?
If you put in a double row timing chain, as I recall there is not room to also
put on that eccentric without cutting it down a bit. Since the original motors
came with it installed, I have always wondered if the cams may be somehow
rotationally balanced with the expectation that eccentric is on the end of the
cam. If so, it would seem a good idea to keep as much of an eccentric on the
cam end as possible.
Just wondering if anyone knows how
important is that eccentric. Maybe like
the human appendix?!
