<div>Similar issue, may be related. You may consider checking the run out on the cam/timing gear prior to buttoning up the front end. When I went to replace the timing chain/gearset I discovered the new timing gear had the spacer molded into the timing gear.
Originally installed the original spacer with the new timing gear (double spacer). When the assembly was rotated by hand I thought the cam shaft was going to pop out of the block. I removed the spacer and the run out problem solved. Kept original thrust
plate without issue.<br>

I bought an Edelbrock 7820 timing chain set to go on my 260 and the instructions say to remove the original cam thrust plate and spacer and replace it with Ford thrust plate # C9OZ-6269-A. These instructions do not explain WHY the plate needs to be replaced.
I called Edelbrock and the guy I spoke to was useless. I pointed out that the Ford part number they listed appears to be obsolete and his response was to send me a link to Ebay where an old one is for sale. I've found some other vendors that have replacements
for this number. Does anybody know why a different thrust plate would be required for the Edelbrock timing chain set?</span>
