[Healeys] Camshaft gear key

[Oliver Viitamaki]

     Hi,

     Two things, first check the keyway in the gear (the side that faces 
the block) for burrs. You may choose to lightly file the same end of the 
keyway, just to make certain there are no burrs. Second, as crazy as it 
sounds, apply a small amount of crazy glue to the key, so that it sticks 
in the keyway in the camshaft. Naturally insure that the key is set 
reasonably level in the keyway, when it is inserted with the crazy glue 
on it, so that the gear will slide in properly.
